EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the enigmatic figure of Hartmann von Aue, a renowned German epic poet and minnesinger, believed to have lived between approximately 1160 and 1210 or 1220. Hartmann is considered one of the most important figures in the German literary tradition, known for his influential epic poems "Erec," "Iwein," "Gregorius," and "Der Arme Heinrich." Minnesang, or courtly love poetry, was a popular art form during the Middle Ages, and Hartmann was a leading exponent of this genre. His works were influential in shaping the development of German literature, and his impact can be felt in the works of later writers such as Wolfram von Eschenbach and Gottfried von Strassburg. The image of Hartmann, depicted here with an eagle crest, adds an air of mystery and nobility to his already illustrious reputation. The eagle, a symbol of strength and power, may represent the poet's soaring imagination and his ability to capture the hearts and minds of his audience with his evocative words. Hartmann's works were not only popular in his own time but have continued to captivate readers for centuries. His epic poems, filled with chivalry, romance, and the human condition, have stood the test of time and remain an important part of the literary canon. This photograph print, from the extensive collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring legacy of Hartmann von Aue and his contributions to German literature.
