EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 12th century chromolithograph, Count Sigiboto and his wife Hildegard of Falkenstein are depicted in elegant attire, surrounded by other distinguished figures of the era. The image, created by the renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, provides a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and culture of the Middle Ages. Count Sigiboto, wearing a long, flowing robe with intricate patterns and a fur-trimmed mantle, exudes an air of authority and power. His wife, Hildegard, is equally striking in her lavish gown adorned with delicate embroidery and a velvet mantle, fastened with a brooch. Both are depicted with a sense of regal grace and refinement. In the background, other notable figures of the time are depicted, including Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, also known as Friedrich der Rothbart, wearing a long, red robe and a crown adorned with precious stones. St. Zeno, the founder of the Zeno Monastery, is shown in monastic robes, holding a book and a staff. This stunning illustration, lithographed by C.R. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck, offers a captivating glimpse into the fashion, art, and culture of the Middle Ages. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the past to life, transporting us back to a time of chivalry, nobility, and grandeur. The meticulous research and artistic skill of Dr. Hefner-Alteneck ensure that this image remains a valuable historical record and a source of inspiration for scholars, artists, and fashion enthusiasts alike.
