EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithography print captures the essence of medieval chivalry and triumph. The image depicts a knight in shining armor, victorious and standing proudly on top of a slain dragon. The intricate details of the knight's helmet, armor, lance, and sword are beautifully rendered by artist Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck.
The scene is set on a stove tile from Munich, Germany dating back to the 15th century. This historical artifact showcases the imagination and craftsmanship of that era, where mythical creatures like dragons were often depicted as foes for brave knights to conquer.
The contrast between the armored knight and the defeated dragon symbolizes good overcoming evil and serves as a reminder of courage in the face of adversity. It is a timeless representation of heroism that continues to captivate viewers centuries later.
This print was originally featured in Hefner-Alteneck's book "Costumes, crafts and instruments from the Middle Ages to the end of the 18th century" published in Frankfurt in 1883. Its preservation through this chromolithography medium allows us to appreciate and admire this piece of artistry from long ago.
