EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts a gathering of German nobility and clergy in the early 13th century, as illustrated in the Sachsenspiegel manuscript housed in the Heidelberg library. The central figure is Ludwig the Lion, Duke of Bavaria, dressed in regal attire, holding a scepter and surrounded by his bishop, noblemen, and herald. To his right, the Pope is depicted in full papal regalia, signifying the political and religious influence of the Church during this period. A knight stands proudly, his sword at the ready, while a wooden statue of Ludmilla, Duke Ludwig's wife, looks on. In the background, wooden statues of saints and other religious figures adorn the Seligenthal Monastery in Landshut. The intricate details of the costumes, from the layered robes and fur trimmings to the distinctive hats and shields, offer a glimpse into the fashion and culture of the time. This illustration, created by the renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, provides a fascinating window into the past, transporting us back to the 13th century and the rich history of German nobility and the Church.
