EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts a German noblewoman elegantly portrayed as St. Mary Magdalen between the years 1510 and 1550. The image is derived from Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck's renowned publication, "Costumes, Artworks, and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," published in Frankfurt in 1889. The noblewoman is dressed in a richly textured velvet gown, adorned with intricate gold embroidery and fur trimmings. The voluminous petticoat beneath the gown is also trimmed with luxurious fur, adding to the overall opulence of her attire. Her posture is regal and poised, reflecting her noble status. St. Mary Magdalen, a biblical figure known for her penitence and devotion to Jesus, is often depicted in art with long, flowing hair and carrying a jar of perfume or a palm branch. In this image, the saint is shown with a veil covering her hair, and she clutches a small jar in one hand and a palm branch in the other. The influence of the renowned artist Matthias Grunewald is evident in the intricate details and realistic portrayal of the noblewoman's features and textures. The use of chromolithography, a printing process that allowed for the reproduction of multiple colors, enhanced the richness and depth of the image, making it a valuable addition to any historical collection. This stunning depiction of a German noblewoman as St. Mary Magdalen provides a glimpse into the fashion and art of the medieval period, offering a fascinating insight into the opulence and grandeur of the time. The intricate details of the gown, the luxurious fur trimmings, and the regal posture of the noblewoman all contribute to a captivating and evocative image that continues to captivate viewers to this day.
