EDITORS COMMENTS
Albrecht III, Achilles, Elector of Brandenburg (1414-1475) is depicted in this stunning chromolithograph from Hefner-Alteneck's "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century." The elector is shown wearing a scarlet cape lined with ermine over a golden suit of armor, adding an air of regal sophistication to the image. The painting, originally from St. Gumbertus church in Ansbach, Germany, offers a glimpse into the fashion and style of the 15th century. The elector's headdress, adorned with intricate feathers and a prominent tail, is reminiscent of the elaborate headpieces worn by women of the time. A young girl or maiden, dressed in a simple, flowing gown, stands beside him, holding a wax taper or candle. The contrast between the elector's opulent attire and the girl's modest outfit highlights the social hierarchy of the period. The painting also features various other intriguing details, such as a cage with birds perched on a door and a cathedral or school in the background. The presence of these elements adds depth and complexity to the image, making it a fascinating representation of life in the late Middle Ages. Johann van Eyck, a renowned Flemish painter, is believed to have influenced the style of this artwork. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of rich colors are characteristic of the Early Netherlandish painting tradition, which was popular during this time. The chromolithograph, created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck and lithographed by C.R., offers a valuable visual record of the fashion, art, and culture of the late Middle Ages.
