EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts a young man from the late Middle Ages, circa 1558, inspired by an original oil painting housed in Hollenzollern Castle in Zigmaringen, Germany. The subject wears an intricately decorated ensemble, including a deer-leather jacket, silk sleeves, and trousers. The deer leather is meticulously crafted with fine slits and points, adding texture and visual interest to the garment. The silk sleeves and trousers are also adorned with similar decorative elements, creating a harmonious and elegant contrast against the rugged leather. This stunning representation is a chromolithograph from Hefner-Alteneck's Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century, published in Frankfurt in 1889. Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck (1811-1903) was a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher. He dedicated his career to documenting and preserving historical art and artifacts, and this illustration is a testament to his dedication and expertise. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the chromolithograph bring the portrait to life, transporting us back in time to the opulence and grandeur of the late Middle Ages. This image is not only a beautiful work of art but also an invaluable historical record, providing us with a glimpse into the fashion and culture of a bygone era.
