EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts a triumphant knight in mid-15th century armor, standing victorious over a slain dragon. The intricately detailed image was originally rendered as a stove tile in Munich and later published in the comprehensive work "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the early Middle Ages to the end of the 18th Century" by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck. The knight, clad in meticulously crafted armor, brandishes a sword in his right hand and holds a lance aloft in his left, signifying his decisive victory against the monstrous dragon lying at his feet. The dragon, with its scaled body and fiery breath, is a common motif in medieval art, representing the triumph of good over evil. The chromolithograph, drawn by Hefner-Alteneck and lithographed by C. Regnier, is a testament to the artistic and historical significance of the period. Hefner-Alteneck, a German archeologist, art historian, and illustrator, served as the director of the Bavarian National Museum from 1868 until 1886. His extensive knowledge and expertise are reflected in the meticulous detail and accuracy of this illustration. This image provides a glimpse into the fashion and history of the medieval era, showcasing the intricate designs and craftsmanship of armor and the heroic tales of knights and dragons that captivated the imaginations of people during that time. The chromolithograph is a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of medieval art, costume, and history.
