EDITORS COMMENTS
This pen and ink drawing on parchment, housed in the Grand Ducal Library Weimar, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of mid-15th century fashion and social life. The image, created by the renowned German archeologist, art historian, and illustrator, Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, brings to life a scene filled with intrigue and merriment. At the center of the drawing, a doctor, dressed in the traditional robes of the time, examines a book with great concentration. Surrounding him, musicians play lutes, spinets, and other instruments, their faces expressive with the joy of their music. The musicians carry jugs, cups, and mirrors, suggesting that they may be preparing for a festive celebration. The scene is further enlivened by figures engaged in lively dancing and raising toasts, their gestures and expressions full of energy and merriment. The intricate details of their clothing, from the voluminous skirts and high-waisted bodices of the women to the flowing robes and hats of the men, offer a window into the fashion trends of the time. This stunning illustration, lithographed by C. Regnier and published by Heinrich Keller in 1883, is a testament to Hefner-Alteneck's meticulous attention to historical detail and his ability to bring the past to life. A true masterpiece of medieval art and fashion history, this drawing continues to captivate and inspire viewers to this day.
