EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases pages from the Album Amicorum of Philipp Hainhofer, a remarkable collection dating back to 1596-1633. Created by an unknown European artist, this pen and ink masterpiece is brought to life with delicate watercolor accents on paper measuring 20.8x16 cm. The original work is held in a private collection. Known as Das Grosse Stammbuch or Book of Friendship, this album was curated by Philipp Hainhofer himself, a prominent German merchant, banker, diplomat, and art collector based in Augsburg during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. It serves as both a monument to the princes of Europe and court art at the advent of the Thirty Years War. The pages are adorned with intricate calligraphy written in German, Latin, French, and Italian languages. Completed across Germany, Italy, and Bohemia (now part of Czech Republic), these handwritten texts exude elegance and sophistication. Wild animals take center stage within beautifully decorated borders that feature ornate baroque designs typical of that era. Each page tells its own story through meticulously painted woodland creatures intertwined with exquisite floral motifs. This stunning visual representation captures not only the artistic prowess but also the historical significance embedded within each stroke of pen or brush. A testament to friendship across cultures and time periods alike; this album amicorum stands as a true gem from the sixteenth century's XVI-XVITH century transition into seventeenth-century XVII-XVIITH century artistry.
