EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts a collection of German fashions from the late 15th century, as illustrated in Matthaus Schwarz's Trachtenbuch. The intricately detailed image, created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck and lithographed by C. Regnier, offers a glimpse into the rich and complex world of German costume during this period. At the center of the composition, a man wearing a long, fur-lined coat with a distinctive V-shaped neckline and a shield bearing the arms of Steitart, stands proudly with a halberd in hand. To his left, a woman in a high-waisted, fitted gown with a low-cut bodice and a voluminous, pleated skirt, holds a shield adorned with the helmbarte crest. Another man, clad in a coat of arms with the deggendorf emblem, wields a shield and a shield-axe. The intricacy of the details in this illustration is truly remarkable. The textures of the fabrics, the patterns of the appliques, and the meticulously rendered weapons and shields all contribute to a vivid and immersive representation of German fashion during the late 15th century. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, expertly captured the essence of this bygone era, providing us with an invaluable record of historical costume and art. This image, which originated from Hefner-Alteneck's seminal work, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century, offers a unique and fascinating glimpse into the rich and complex world of German fashion during the late 15th century. The shields, weapons, and intricately detailed costumes depicted in this illustration serve as a testament to the artistic and historical significance of this period, and continue to captivate and inspire us today.
