Alteneck Appliance Hefner Heinrich Iconography Jakob Tankard
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 17th-century tankard, adorned with intricate Christian religious iconography, offers a glimpse into the rich artistic and devotional traditions of the time. The chromolithograph depiction of the tankard, found in Hefner-Alteneck's "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," was meticulously illustrated by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck and lithographed by Joh. Klipphahn. Published by Heinrich Keller in Frankfurt in 1889, this work showcases the exquisite detail and craftsmanship of the period. The tankard's decorative motifs include various Christian symbols, such as the cross, the lamb, and the chalice, which were commonly used in religious art and artifacts during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The elaborate design is further enhanced by the inclusion of figures, such as angels and saints, which add to the devotional and spiritual significance of the tankard. The tankard's ornate handle, shaped like a twisted rope, adds to its overall elegance and sophistication. The tankard's body is adorned with a series of raised ridges, creating a textured surface that adds to the visual interest of the piece. The tankard's base is also intricately decorated, featuring a series of geometric patterns and floral motifs. This tankard is not only a testament to the artistic and craftsmanship skills of the time but also a reminder of the deep religious beliefs and traditions that shaped European culture during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The tankard's intricate decoration and Christian iconography make it a valuable addition to any collection of historical art or religious artifacts.
