EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph showcases two exemplary representations of Italian mens fashions from the late 15th century, as depicted in artworks from the Basilica of San Domenico in Siena and the church of Santa Catherine in Florence. On the left, a nobleman dons a fur-lined tunic over hose and boots, accessorized with armorial shield bearing the arms of the Munich Ambrustschutzengilde, a guild of crossbowmen. The shield's design includes a member crossbow, a symbol of the guild's identity. On the right, another nobleman is depicted in a cape, tunic, and hose. His attire is adorned with the arms of Hans Duke of Bavaria, Hainrich Saarwerden von Venningen, and Rhineland. Heraldry played a significant role in Italian society during this period, with coats of arms serving as symbols of family lineage, status, and allegiance. These illustrations were produced by Dr. Jakob Heinrich Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher. Hefner-Alteneck meticulously documented and chronicled European costumes, artworks, and appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th century. His extensive research and illustrations continue to provide valuable insights into the rich history of European fashion and art. The chromolithograph, published in Frankfurt in 1889, offers a fascinating glimpse into the opulent and intricate fashions of the Italian nobility during the late 15th century. The use of vibrant colors and intricate details in the illustrations further enhances our understanding of the grandeur and elegance of this era.
