EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts Bartholomeus Brun, a prosperous burgher of Cologne, in the vibrant and intricately detailed attire of the late 16th century. He is shown proudly holding a staff adorned with a golden ball, symbolizing his high social standing within the community. Accompanying him is a burgher woman, elegantly dressed in a veil and full-sleeved dress, accessorized with a gold belt and a velvet hat. Her attire is a testament to the opulence and refinement of the era. The image is a masterpiece from the Ducal Library at Darmstadt, and was produced by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher. Hefner-Alteneck meticulously documented and illustrated various costumes, artworks, and appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th century, providing invaluable insights into the rich cultural heritage of Europe. This illustration, lithographed by C. Regnier, is a striking example of Hefner-Alteneck's dedication to preserving the past. The intricacies of the clothing, from the delicate folds of the fabric to the ornate patterns and embellishments, offer a glimpse into the fashion trends and artistic sensibilities of the time. The use of vibrant colors and bold lines adds depth and texture to the image, making it a captivating work of art in its own right. Overall, this chromolithograph is a testament to the beauty and complexity of European history and culture during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
