EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts the intricately carved tombstone of Agnes Bernauer (1410-1436), a renowned figure in Bavarian history as the mistress of Albert III, Duke of Bavaria. The image, taken from the Agnes Bernauer Chapel in Straubing, Germany, is an exquisite example of late Gothic art. The print is derived from Hefner-Alteneck's "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the early Middle Ages to the end of the 18th Century," published in Frankfurt in 1883. Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, a German archeologist, art historian, and illustrator, was the mastermind behind this comprehensive work. Hefner-Alteneck served as the director of the Bavarian National Museum from 1868 until 1886. The illustration for this tombstone was drawn by Hefner-Alteneck himself and lithographed by CR, with the publication overseen by Heinrich Keller. The meticulous attention to detail in the carvings on the tombstone is evident in the print, which showcases the intricate designs and symbols that adorn Agnes Bernauer's final resting place. Agnes Bernauer, a woman of mystery and intrigue, was rumored to have been a powerful influence on Duke Albert III, and her untimely death at the age of 26 has been the subject of numerous legends and tales. This beautiful print serves as a testament to her enduring legacy and the artistic prowess of the time.
