EDITORS COMMENTS
In this chromolithograph, we behold Conrad Paumann, a renowned blind Renaissance German organist, lutenist, and composer. The image, derived from a bas-relief in red marble housed in Frauenkirche, Munich, presents Paumann in the act of playing a Schoossorgel or portable organ. Accompanying him on the wall are a lute, harp, and recorder, instruments that were integral to his musical repertoire. Born in the late 15th century, Conrad Paumann's life was marked by an extraordinary ability to create and perform music despite his visual impairment. His attire reflects the fashion of the time, with a suit of armor adorned with intricate heraldic designs. His sons, Caspar and Walthauser, are depicted standing nearby, dressed in the fashion of the era, donning poulaines, spurs, hose, doublets, and coats. The setting of this illustration is rich in detail, with an altar dedicated to Saint Peter and various pennants and knightly accoutrements adorning the walls. The image was created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, a German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher. Hefner-Alteneck's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate depiction of the instruments, clothing, and architectural elements. This image offers a glimpse into the world of a remarkable musician and the era in which he lived. The fusion of music, fashion, and history is brought to life through the masterful use of chromolithography, a printing technique that was popular during the late 19th century. The result is a stunning visual representation of Conrad Paumann and the world he inhabited.
