EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled "Italian Male Costumes of the Late 15th Century," showcases a vibrant and intricately detailed compilation of various Italian male costumes from the late 15th century. The image features an array of distinctive attire, including a soldier in full armor A, adorned with a scarlet cape and ermine trim. Another soldier B, dons a distinctive Eisenhut or kettle hat, often associated with German and Swiss soldiers of the period. A landsknecht lancer, C, is depicted in a gold suit of armor, complete with a plumed helmet, adding to the grandeur of the ensemble. The men in mi-parti doublets, D, are of particular note, as they are believed to have originated in Germany and were popularized during the 15th and 16th centuries. These garments feature a split design, with the upper and lower halves of the doublet being of different colors. The illustration is taken from "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck. Hefner-Alteneck was a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher. This image is a testament to his meticulous research and dedication to preserving the fashion and art history of the time. The scene is further enriched with references to historical figures, such as Albrecht III, Elector of Brandenburg, who is known to have worn a similar scarlet cape and ermine trim. The altar painting in the background, depicting St. Gumbertus, adds an ecclesiastical element to the image, further emphasizing the significance of this period in Italian and European history.
