EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts Abbot Sebastian Hafele, a Catholic prelate from the late 15th century, as represented in a stained glass window located in the church of Haslach, Bavaria. The intricately detailed image captures Abbot Hafele in the regal attire of his ecclesiastical rank, adorned with a mitre, crook, and coat of arms. The abbot's attire reflects the chivalric spirit of the time, with elements of armor, such as a steel plate, gauntlets, and a suit of clothes designed for both functionality and aesthetic appeal. The illustration is the work of Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher. Hefner-Alteneck meticulously captured the essence of the stained glass portrait, translating its intricate details into a vivid and captivating chromolithograph. The lithograph, published in Frankfurt in 1889, showcases the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, providing a window into the fashion, costumes, and appliances of the Middle Ages and the early modern period. Abbot Sebastian Hafele's portrait encapsulates the grandeur and spiritual significance of the late 15th century, a time marked by the intersection of religion, art, and chivalry. The image evokes the spirit of tournaments and jousts, where knights would display their skills, courage, and devotion, often in the name of their faith. This chromolithograph serves as a testament to the enduring allure of the past, offering a glimpse into a bygone era and the rich history it holds.
