EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts a lively gathering of Italian noble youths from the late 15th century, as captured in an oil painting by the renowned artist Bernardo Pinturicchio. The young men are dressed in the height of fashion, donning intricately designed doublets and hose. Their attire features numerous cutout panels, slits, and slashes, reflecting the extravagance and privilege of their noble status. The image is an exquisite illustration from Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck's comprehensive book, "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," published in Frankfurt in 1889. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck was a German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, who dedicated his career to documenting and preserving historical fashion and art. Surrounded by their knights, wives, and armorial shields adorned with pennants, these young noblemen exude an air of wealth and distinction. The presence of knights in the scene suggests that this gathering may have been in celebration of a significant event, such as a tournament or a coming-of-age ceremony. In the background, we catch a glimpse of the bustling cityscape of Arnstadt, with its traditional buildings and marketplaces. The image also includes portraits of several wealthy burghers, including Erhard Moringer, Georg Hanenkampel, Peter Paumfeld, and others, further emphasizing the social hierarchy of the time. This stunning illustration offers a glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of Italian noble youth during the late 15th century, providing valuable insights into the opulence and grandeur of the era. The intricate details of the clothing, accessories, and surroundings are beautifully rendered, making this a must-see image for anyone interested in fashion history, art, or European history in general.
