EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts two legendary saints, St. Nicholas and St. George, in a scene that beautifully encapsulates the fusion of religious and chivalric traditions of the Middle Ages. St. Nicholas, dressed in ornate bishops' robes, is shown blessing the faithful with his right hand, while his left hand holds a pastoral staff. The image was inspired by a painting housed in the Kolumba Archdiocese Museum of Cologne, which dates back to the 12th century. In the foreground, St. George, a gallant knight from the 14th century, dons German armor, complete with a cape, surcoat, belt, lance, shield, and sword. The dragon, a fearsome creature, lies defeated at his feet. This scene represents St. George's heroic act of slaying the dragon to save a princess and protect the people of a town. The intricate details of the saints' costumes and the vibrant colors of the chromolithograph serve as a testament to the artistic and cultural richness of the Middle Ages. Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, was responsible for the creation of this stunning artwork. The lithograph is a valuable historical record of the fashion, art, and appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th century. This image of St. Nicholas and St. George is a powerful reminder of the enduring influence of these saints on European culture and the deep connection between spirituality and chivalry during the Middle Ages. The scene unfolds in the hallowed halls of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, adding an air of reverence and sanctity to the image.
