EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the elaborate and ornate costume of Frederick I, also known as Frederick Barbarossa or Friedrich der Rothbart, the Holy Roman Emperor from 1152 to 1190. The image is based on a manuscript illustration from the Vatican in Rome and was created by the renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck. Frederick I, born in 1122, was a powerful and influential figure during the High Middle Ages. He is depicted here wearing the regal robes of the Holy Roman Emperor, adorned with intricate gold and silver embroidery, rich fabrics, and precious stones. The emperor's crown, shield, and orb are also prominently displayed. The costume's design reflects the grandeur and opulence of the Holy Roman Empire during the 12th century. The intricate details of the embroidery and the vibrant colors of the fabric are brought to life through the meticulous lithographic technique used by Hefner-Alteneck. This image is a testament to the artistic and historical significance of the Middle Ages and the importance of the Holy Roman Empire during this period. It is a valuable resource for scholars of art history, fashion, and medieval studies, providing a glimpse into the rich and complex world of the past.
