EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts various mens costumes and heraldic symbols of the mid 15th century, as illustrated by the renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck. The central figure is Charles the Bold, also known as Karl I der Kühne, wearing a fur-lined coat over a puff-sleeved doublet. The intricate details of his attire showcase the opulence and grandeur of the Italian Renaissance. In the background, an angel and a knight in armor are depicted, each holding heraldic shields. The knight's shield displays the crest of the Count of Nassau, while the angel's shield bears the Wheel of Mainz. These crests and shields were taken from a prayer book in the castle library of Aschaffenburg. The heraldic symbols, including targes, escutcheons, and great helms, were essential components of medieval European culture. They represented family lineages, alliances, and affiliations. In this image, the swans' heads and Chigi family crest from Sienna evoke the rich history and tradition of the tournaments and jousts that were popular during the Middle Ages. This illustration, created by Dr. Hefner-Alteneck and lithographed by C.R., offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion, art, and history of the 15th century. The meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant colors bring this bygone era to life, providing a captivating visual record of a time long past.
