EDITORS COMMENTS
In this chromolithograph from the late 19th century, a German royal couple adorned in regal crowns and ornate clothing gracefully sit at a table. The scene, set in 1492, is depicted with intricate detail, showcasing a table laden with bread, a knife, and cups. A noble boy in mi-parti hose, a fashionable attire of the time, engages in a game nearby. The background reveals an exquisite embroidered carpet, adding to the opulence of the setting. The image is a reproduction of a work from the Nuremberg Museum, originally created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck (1811-1903), a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher. Hefner-Alteneck's masterful illustration has been beautifully hand-colored and lithographed by C. Regnier. The royal couple's table setting is further enhanced by a stunning bouquet of lilies. The variety of lilies displayed includes the pink Speciosum and Atrococcineum, as well as the white Album lily. This botanical illustration is reminiscent of the works of Edward Sowerby, Andrew Henderson, and other prominent botanical artists of the time. The female artist, whose name is unknown, masterfully captures the essence of the royal setting while incorporating the beauty of these timeless flowers. This artwork is a testament to the exquisite artistry and attention to detail prevalent during the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance period.
