EDITORS COMMENTS
This mid-15th century Italian heraldic shield or targe showcases the coat of arms and escutcheon of the Chigi family from Sienna. The shield is adorned with a great helm, crested with a swan's head, symbolizing the noble lineage of this prominent Italian family. The intricate design on the shield reflects the rich artistic traditions of the Italian Renaissance. The image is a chromolithograph from Hefner-Alteneck's "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," published in Frankfurt in 1889. Hefner-Alteneck, a German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, meticulously documented various aspects of European history, including costumes, artworks, and appliances. This illustration was lithographed by C.R. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck. The scene depicted on the shield is surrounded by various accessories and items associated with men of the time, including a pikeman and a lansknecht, both soldiers armed with sword and halberd. In the background, a hunter is shown with a falcon on his glove, while young men engage in various activities, such as wearing felt hats, donning armor, and wearing clothes typical of the era. The image also includes a ducal residence, representing the power and wealth of the Chigi family. The book and the Dresden State Archive in the foreground signify the importance of record-keeping and knowledge in maintaining lineages and family histories. This chromolithograph is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the fashion, art, and culture of the Italian Renaissance period. It is a testament to the meticulous work of Hefner-Alteneck and the rich artistic traditions of the time.
