1. Title: Brass Grave Effigy to Maria Langhans in the Church at Hindelbank, Bern, Switzerland This image showcases a brass grave effigy dedicated to Maria Langhans, located within the church at Hindelbank in Bern, Switzerland. The effigy, crafted by the renowned sculptor Johann August Nahl, is a stunning example of funerary art from the 19th century. The effigy depicts Maria Langhans lying in a recumbent position, dressed in the traditional attire of the time. Surrounding her are various symbols of antiquity, including an orbe, a symbol of power and authority, and a lion, which represents strength and courage. A man playing a lyre is also present, symbolizing music and the arts. The church at Hindelbank, also known as Ebredunum or Eburodunum, holds historical significance as it was built on the site of a Roman settlement. The Roman mosaic, discovered nearby, is visible in the background of the image, adding to the rich historical context of the scene. The church and its surroundings are located near Yverdon, a town famous for its thermal springs and spa. The area has been a popular destination for visitors since ancient times, making it an ideal location for a monument of such significance. The image is a handcoloured copperplate engraving by Migliavacca, taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1837. The meticulous detail and vibrant colours bring the scene to life, offering a glimpse into the past and the fascinating world of historical fashion and art.
