EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts a grand banquet scene from the late 15th century in France, as illustrated in Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck's seminal work, "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century." The central figure is a woman regally seated on a throne, her elegant attire a testament to the opulence and refinement of the French court. Surrounding her are allegorical figures of women, each engaging in different activities. One woman plays with a pet squirrel, another delights in a game of board cards, while a third looks on with a thoughtful expression. The men in attendance wear a variety of fashionable attire typical of the late 15th century. Italian male fashion is represented by the elegant doublet and mi-parti, while German influences are evident in the enameled armor, helmets, and hats. The soldiers, dressed as landsknechts and lancers, display their pride with their well-maintained weapons, including eisenhuts, kettles, and oil lamps. The intricate details of this illustration, lithographed by C. Regnier, provide a glimpse into the rich and diverse fashion trends of the time. The artwork was originally sourced from a wallpaper in a courtroom in La Tournelle, Nancy, and is a testament to the meticulous research and dedication of Dr. Hefner-Alteneck, a German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher. This image offers a fascinating window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of fashion during the late Middle Ages.
