Great Helm and Coat of Arms of Rudolph von Sachsenhausen, 14th Century German Knight This striking chromolithograph depicts Rudolph von Sachsenhausen, also known as Rudolf II von Praunheim, a German knight from the 14th century. The image is based on his grave effigy, which can be found in Frankfurt Cathedral. Rudolph is shown wearing a suit of armor, complete with a great helm and an ornate escutcheon bearing his coat of arms. The surcoat he wears over his armor is made of leather and features the coat of arms of his family, the Counts of Arnsberg. Rudolph's arm is raised, holding the great helm in his hand, while his other hand rests on his hip, with a spurred riding boot visible beneath his armor. The intricate details of his armor harness and the decorative elements of his coat of arms are beautifully rendered in this illustration. The image is part of a larger work, "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," published in Frankfurt in 1889. The work was created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher. The lithograph was produced by C.R. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck. The image provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of chivalry and heraldry during the Middle Ages. The intricately designed armor and coat of arms reflect the importance of family lineage and military prowess during this period. The use of chromolithography, a printing technique that allowed for the production of detailed and vibrant images, further enhances the visual impact of this striking depiction of Rudolph von Sachsenhausen.
