EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, created by the renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, showcases figures from stained-glass windows in Freiburg Minster. The central figure is St. Catherine of Alexandria, dressed in the attire of the late 13th century. She is depicted holding a sword and wearing a halo, symbolizing her status as a martyr and patron saint of scholars. Surrounding St. Catherine are two silver miners, working diligently with their helmets and cowls protecting them from the harsh conditions of their trade. The intricate details of their costumes, including their quilted tunics and leather aprons, provide a glimpse into the fashion of the time. The influence of Italian art is evident in this illustration, with the style reminiscent of the works of Pinturicchio, particularly in the Santa Maria in Aracoeli church in Rome. Hefner-Alteneck's meticulous attention to detail and use of vibrant colors bring these figures to life, transporting us back to the 13th century. This image is a testament to Hefner-Alteneck's expertise in art history and his ability to capture the essence of the Middle Ages through his illustrations. The chromolithograph is a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of art, fashion, and history, offering a unique perspective on the visual culture of the time.
