EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck in 1889, depicts a portrait of a German woman from the late 15th century. The woman is shown with her young child, both elegantly dressed in the fashion of the era, which was influenced by French and Dutch styles. The woman wears a turban, a voluminous dress, and a cape, all adorned with intricate patterns and rich colors. Her husband, a young man, is shown embracing them both in a tender moment of affection, as if bestowing a loving kiss upon his wife and child. The portrait is part of the extensive collection of the Frankfurt State Institute, and was originally illustrated and lithographed by Hefner-Alteneck himself, under the expert guidance of C. Regnier. Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, dedicated his career to preserving and documenting the art and culture of the Middle Ages and the 17th century. This beautiful illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of fashion and family dynamics during the late 15th century. The warm, inviting colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, transporting us back in time to a Berlin room where such a scene might have once unfolded. The Kupferstichkabinet, or print room, of the Berlin Museum would have been a place where such treasures were cherished and admired by generations of art lovers and historians. This portrait is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture and preserve the essence of human experience, even as the centuries pass.
