EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts two exquisite goblets in gilt-plated silver, showcasing the intricate Gothic style of the 17th century. The image is taken from the renowned publication "Hefner-Altenecks Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," published in Frankfurt in 1889. The illustration was created by the esteemed German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, and lithographed by Joh. Klipphahn. The goblets, adorned with intricate designs and ornate decorations, are a testament to the grandeur and opulence of the time. The gilt-plated silver adds an elegant sheen, reflecting the rich history and cultural significance of the Middle Ages and the early modern period. The Gothic style, characterized by pointed arches, intricate tracery, and flowing lines, is evident in the delicate yet complex designs on the goblets. The publication of "Hefner-Alteneck's Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century" was a groundbreaking achievement in the field of medieval and early modern studies. The work provided scholars and enthusiasts with a comprehensive and accurate record of the fashion, art, and appliances of the time, making it an invaluable resource for the study of history and culture. This image of the two goblets is not only a beautiful work of art in its own right, but also a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the grandeur and sophistication of the 17th century.
