EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled "Mens costumes of the mid-15th century," showcases three distinct European mens fashion trends from the Saxon lineages, the Lower Rhine, and Italy, as documented by German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck. The image features a young man from Saxony, dressed in a doublet with long sleeves, taken from a lineage book. His attire is characterized by a raised, headdressless, and simple design, typical of the region. Next to him stands a nobleman from the Lower Rhine, depicted in a painting from the Van Eyck school. His costume is adorned with intricate patterns and rich fabrics, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the noble class during this era. The nobleman's headdress is a raised, tall, and ornate structure, often worn as a symbol of status and power. The third figure represents Italian fashion during the Pietro Perugino era, as seen in a drawing from the Berlin copperplate collection. His costume features a simple, fitted doublet, worn with a wimple, a long, folded cloth that covers the neck and chin, and a veil, which is draped over the head and secured under the chin. This style was popular among the Italian upper classes and was often used to signify refinement and sophistication. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck's meticulous illustrations and detailed annotations provide valuable insights into the fashion trends of the mid-15th century, offering a glimpse into the rich and diverse cultural heritage of Europe during this period.
