EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts a detailed bust of a German woman from the late 15th century, as captured in an oil painting that forms part of the artwork "Saint John of Capistrano" by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck. The woman's attire reflects the fashion of the era, with a red velvet turban adorning her head. The turban is embellished with a golden angel brooch and tied with a white ribbon, adding an elegant touch to her regal appearance. The woman's armor, typical of German fashion during this period, includes a helmet, sallet, gorget, neck, armour, and other military appliances. The helmet, with its distinctive shape and intricate decorations, is a fine example of the advanced armor-making techniques of the time. The sallet, a type of helmet designed to protect the face and neck, is also visible, showcasing the intricate details and craftsmanship of the era. Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck (1811-1903) was a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher. His extensive knowledge and expertise in the fields of art, history, and archaeology are evident in this stunning illustration. The lithograph, produced by I.M. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck, provides a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and military practices of Germany during the late Middle Ages and the beginning of the Renaissance period. This illustration offers a unique perspective on the intricacies of German fashion during the late 15th century, as well as the importance of armor in daily life and warfare during this time. The attention to detail and the vibrant colors of the chromolithograph make it a valuable addition to any collection of historical art and fashion.
