EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a mesmerizing glimpse into the rich history of Philipp Hainhofer's Album Amicorum. This exquisite piece of art, created between 1596 and 1633, showcases the immense talent and creativity of European artists during that era. Measuring at 20.8x16 cm, this pen & ink and watercolor masterpiece is currently held in a private collection. Known as Das Grosse Stammbuch, it serves as a testament to Hainhofer's multifaceted life as a German merchant, banker, diplomat, and avid art collector based in Augsburg. The Book of Friendship depicted within these pages stands as an awe-inspiring monument to the princes of Europe and courtly art during the advent of the Thirty Years War. Written in multiple languages including German, Latin, French, and Italian; its completion spanned across Germany, Italy, and Bohemia. This vibrant artwork features intricate heraldry designs with coats of arms adorned by three lions symbolizing strength and royalty. The presence of baroque elements such as crowns adds an opulent touch to each page. Figures are beautifully illustrated alongside crests while illuminated double-headed eagles soar above them. The colorful imagery transports viewers back to the imperial splendor of the sixteenth century while also encompassing elements from its seventeenth-century counterpart. Each page tells a story through painting with meticulous attention to detail. In essence, this print encapsulates not only historical significance but also celebrates friendship through its diverse range of artistic expressions.
