EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking chromolithograph depicts the intricately decorated back and sides of a late 15th century house altar from Munich, Germany, belonging to Count von Pocci. The altar, carved and painted with exquisite detail, is adorned with lush foliage and vibrant colors, reflecting the opulence and wealth of the noble class during the Italianate period in Germany. The altar's decorative motifs include a procession of soldiers, archers, and knights, each clad in armor and bearing weapons such as helmets, shields, axes, bows, and quivers. These figures represent the count's military prowess and status as a protector of his lands. The altar's intricate design also features intricate floral patterns, scrollwork, and geometric shapes, which add to its visual complexity and beauty. The use of chromolithography, a printing technique that allowed for multiple colors to be applied to a single print, further enhances the richness and depth of the image. Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, a German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, created this illustration in 1889 as part of his comprehensive work on costumes, artworks, and appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th century. The lithograph was produced by H. Petersen, adding to the high-quality production values of the project. This image offers a glimpse into the grandeur and sophistication of German noble culture during the late 15th century, a time of artistic and cultural flourishing in Europe.
