EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning portrait captures the elegant and refined features of a 22-year-old German nobleman from the late 15th century. Painted in oils by the renowned Swabian master, Bartholomaus Zeitblom, this artwork showcases the sophistication and wealth of the German nobility during this period. The young man is depicted wearing the attire of an Abbot, complete with a mitre and crook, signifying his religious and administrative roles within the Catholic Church. His coat of arms, adorned with stylized animals and geometric shapes, is proudly displayed on his chest. The portrait 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, the author of the book, was a German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher. He meticulously researched and documented various aspects of medieval and early modern European culture, including fashion and art. The young nobleman's portrait is reminiscent of the elaborate and ornate designs found in stained glass windows of the time, such as those in Haslach Church in Bavaria. The intricate details of the portrait, from the folds in the robe to the texture of the fur trim, are a testament to Zeitblom's mastery of oil painting techniques. This artwork offers a glimpse into the opulent world of the German nobility during the late Middle Ages.
