EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts Johan Fetzer (1592-1646), a prominent figure from the late Middle Ages and early modern period. The portrait, created by the renowned German curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, was published by Heinrich Keller in 1889 as part of the comprehensive work "Hefner-Altenecks Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century." Johan Fetzer is shown in the portrait wearing an ornate, high-collared doublet with intricate lace and embroidery adorning the neckline. He is also wearing a voluminous, pleated shirt, which is visible at the open bosom of his doublet. In his right hand, Fetzer holds a multicolored ensign, a flag bearing his coat of arms. The coat of arms is a striking visual representation of a monster, symbolizing the family's strength and power. The use of chromolithography, a printing technique that allowed for the production of detailed and vibrant images, adds to the richness and depth of the portrait. The intricate details of Fetzer's clothing and the vivid colors of the ensign are brought to life in this stunning illustration. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck's meticulous research and dedication to preserving the history of costume and art from the Middle Ages to the 17th century is evident in this beautiful portrait of Johan Fetzer. This image provides a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and history of the time, offering a unique perspective on the lives of those who lived during this period.
