EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from the late 15th century, a French noblewoman, resplendent in a fur-lined gown adorned with intricate embroidery, receives a visit from a bourgeois man or scholar. The noblewoman, who wears a high-crowned headdress and carries a fan, sits in a richly furnished room, her heraldic coat of arms prominently displayed at the bottom. The man, dressed in a simple tunic and broad shoes, kneels before her, his hands folded in respect. The scene is taken from a miniature painting in a parchment codex, which contains the French translation of the Life of St. Jerome. This precious artifact is now housed in the Stuttgart Library. The illustration, a chromolithograph, was produced by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher. Hefner-Alteneck collaborated with the lithographer C. Regnier to create this stunning work of art. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and social hierarchy of the late 15th century. The noblewoman's elegant attire, complete with a suit of armor, sword, and shield, signifies her status and power. Meanwhile, the bourgeois man's plain clothing reflects his more humble station. The presence of a count or knight, as indicated by the title "von Pocci Graf," adds another layer of intrigue to the scene. This image is a testament to the rich artistic and historical heritage of the Middle Ages and the 16th century. It invites us to explore the world of these bygone eras and to appreciate the beauty and complexity of their art and culture.
