EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph, created by Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck in 1889, depicts a full battle armor set for a knight and his horse in the mid-16th century. The intricately detailed image transports us back in time to the medieval era, a period known for its grandeur and opulence, particularly in the realm of warfare. The knight, clad in plate armor, is shown with a plumed helmet, articulated gauntlets, and shoes adorned with spurs. His armor is meticulously designed to protect every inch of his body, from his head to his toes. The armor's intricate patterns and designs reflect the advanced metalworking techniques of the time. The knight's steed is equally armored, with barding that covers its entire body. The horse's armor includes a protective breastplate, shoulder guards, and leg armor. The horse's saddle is also decorated with intricate designs, showcasing the attention to detail given to both the rider and his mount. The knight holds a lance in his right hand, ready for battle. His left hand rests on the horse's mane, demonstrating the strong bond between man and horse. The image captures the essence of the knightly code of chivalry, which emphasized honor, courage, and loyalty. This image is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, and provides a glimpse into the world of the medieval knight and his trusted steed. The chromolithograph, which is part of the "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century" series by Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, is a valuable historical resource and a beautiful work of art in its own right.
