EDITORS COMMENTS
In this chromolithograph, we find Lukas Baumgartner, the esteemed patrician of Nurnburg, proudly donning the armor and accoutrements of the medieval nobility in the year 1512. The intricately detailed print, taken from Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck's "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," offers a fascinating glimpse into the grandeur and opulence of the era. Baumgartner's imposing figure is accentuated by his impressive helmet, adorned with a crest and visor, and his cuirass and breastplate, meticulously crafted from steel plates and decorated with intricate engravings. His armor gloves, tabard, stockings, leather boots, and spurs complete the ensemble, all designed to protect and enhance his combat readiness. In his right hand, Baumgartner holds a lance, its tip adorned with a richly decorated pennon, while his left hand grips a sword, its hilt intricately decorated with precious metals and gems. The patrician's attire is further complemented by an altarpainting in the background, reminiscent of the works of Albrecht Dürer, adding an artistic touch to the scene. This stunning print, now housed in the Alte Pinakothek Museum in Munich, offers a unique insight into the fashion and history of the medieval period. The meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant colors employed by the chromolithographic process bring the image to life, transporting us back in time to an era of chivalry, honor, and grandeur.
