1. Title: A Politician's Journey: Bernhard von Breidenbach of Mainz, 1440-1497 This image showcases Bernhard von Breidenbach, a prominent politician from Mainz during the late 15th century. Known for his literary work "Peregrinatio in terram sanctum" (Journey to the Holy Land), Bernhard is depicted in this chromolithograph from the renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, Dr. Jakob Heinrich Hefner-Alteneck's collection, "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century." Bernhard is dressed in the fashionable attire of his time, with a richly embroidered tunic adorned with intricate foliage patterns, a high-waisted belt, and a fur-trimmed cloak. His head is crowned with a tall, pointed hat, a common accessory among the nobility during this era. The woman accompanying Bernhard is dressed in a voluminous, elegant gown, featuring an exquisite floral design and a vibrant color palette. She is adorned with a diadem and a necklace, further emphasizing her noble status. The background of the image reveals a richly decorated palace, with a lush carpet beneath Bernhard's feet and ornate woodwork and foliage adorning the walls. The presence of a Bavarian coat of arms suggests that Bernhard may have had connections to this region. This image offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the late 15th century, as well as the fashion and culture of the time. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the chromolithograph serve as a testament to Dr. Hefner-Alteneck's masterful illustration skills and his dedication to preserving the art and history of the Middle Ages and beyond.
