EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chromolithograph depicts a Drinking Vessel in Gilt Silver with Lions, a masterpiece of Renaissance art from the 17th century. The intricately detailed illustration is taken from Hefner-Alteneck's Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century, published in Frankfurt in 1889. Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck (1811-1903), a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, was the mastermind behind this comprehensive work. The drinking vessel, adorned with ornate gilded silver and graceful lions, is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the era. The lions, with their regal demeanor and intricately detailed manes, add an air of power and sophistication to the piece. The vessel's elegant curves and delicate engravings showcase the exceptional craftsmanship of the time. The chromolithograph, lithographed by Joh. Klipphahn and published by Heinrich Keller, provides a vivid and accurate representation of the original piece. The use of chromolithography, a printing technique that allowed for the production of multicolored images, adds depth and richness to the illustration, making it a valuable historical record. This illustration offers a glimpse into the world of medieval and Renaissance fashion, art, and appliances, providing insights into the intricacies of the period's design and craftsmanship. The Drinking Vessel in Gilt Silver with Lions is not only a beautiful work of art but also an important historical artifact, a testament to the creativity and skill of the artists and craftsmen of the time.
