Alteneck Appliance Hefner Heinrich Jakob Saddles Tournament 15th
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts a collection of tournament saddles from the 15th century, meticulously illustrated and lithographed by Hefner-Alteneck and published by Heinrich Keller in 1883. Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German archeologist, art historian, and illustrator, served as the director of the Bavarian National Museum from 1868 until 1886. He was known for his extensive work on costumes, artworks, and appliances from the early Middle Ages to the end of the 18th century. The image showcases an impressive array of tournament saddles, which were specifically designed for mounted combat during medieval tournaments. These saddles were distinct from regular riding saddles due to their high, steeply angled cantles, which provided better support for the rider during the intense physical demands of tournament competition. The intricate designs and ornate decorations on the saddles are also evident in this illustration, reflecting the grandeur and opulence of the medieval period. The chromolithograph is a testament to Hefner-Alteneck's dedication to preserving and documenting the rich history of medieval fashion and art. The meticulous attention to detail in the illustration allows us to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of these historical objects, providing a fascinating glimpse into the past. This image is a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the history of medieval costume and art.
