Melchior von Graenroth, Vicedom of Aschaffenburg (1510-1573): A Portrait in Armor This chromolithograph depicts Melchior von Graenroth, the Vicedom of Aschaffenburg, in the year 1573. The image, based on a sculpture by the renowned caster Hieronymus Hack, showcases Melchior in full armor, kneeling humbly on his gauntlets. The intricate details of his suit, helm, sword, and gauntlets are masterfully captured, providing a glimpse into the fashion and weaponry of the late 16th century. Melchior von Graenroth was a significant figure in the history of Aschaffenburg, a city located in present-day Bavaria, Germany. As a vicedom, he held a high-ranking position within the local administration, responsible for maintaining law and order, and representing the interests of the ruling dynasty. The illustration is the work of Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, a German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher. Hefner-Alteneck meticulously documented costumes, artworks, and appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th century, and this chromolithograph is a testament to his dedication and expertise. The lithograph, lithographed by C. Regnier, is taken from Hefner-Alteneck's comprehensive work, "Costumes, Artworks, and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," published in Frankfurt in 1889. This image offers a fascinating insight into the fashion, art, and history of the late medieval and early modern periods, providing a valuable resource for scholars, artists, and enthusiasts alike.
