EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative 14th-century print, we are transported back to the bustling heart of a Medieval German smithy, where the legendary hero Eppelein von Gailingen (1310-1381) is hard at work. Eppelein, an esquire and a master craftsman, was a renowned figure in German folklore and history, known for his prowess in blacksmithing, falconry, and social graces. The scene unfolds in the dimly lit forge, where Eppelein, clad in leather apron and sturdy boots, is intently focused on shoeing a horse. Sparks fly from the glowing coals as he hammers away, the rhythmic clanging of metal against metal echoing through the room. The air is thick with the pungent smell of iron and horseflesh, a testament to the raw, visceral energy of the smithy. Surrounding Eppelein are the tools of his trade: an anvil, a bellows, a hammer, and a variety of horseshoes. A falcon perched on a nearby workbench gazes curiously at the goings-on, a nod to Eppelein's dual passion for blacksmithing and falconry. The social atmosphere of the smithy is also evident, with other craftsmen and villagers milling about, engaged in conversation and exchanging news. This print offers a captivating glimpse into the early 14th-century German world, where the hero Eppelein von Gailingen embodied the spirit of the age: a man of strength, skill, and social connection. It is a scene that resonates with the rich history and folklore of Germany, and a testament to the enduring allure of the Middle Ages.
