Portfolio of Armorial Achievements

These are the complete renderings of the Altenau / Altnau armorial achievements, presented by artist name and date. The dates provided are dates of emblazonment, NOT dates of assumption or registrations. The finalized BLAZON of the Altnau arms was ASSUMED on May 20, 2020. But as for the INITIAL emblazonments themselves, emails concerning them were being exchanged as much as a week AFTER assumption, in an attempt to get last minute tweaks and corrections to the actual images themselves completely finalized. This page was last updated on 09-14-2022.

This is Dr. Cabanas’ artistic interpretation of my heraldic badge. He actually produced two versions, one shown here, with the crosses concave, and another one (not shown) with convex crosses. Both versions are “official,” but since they are so similar, I chose to display only one of them here.

This is a medieval-style painting of a knight wearing my armorial achievement; it is a very stylized piece, as befits that period. Click HERE to see a historical example of such a painting, from the 14th Century.

Emblazoned April 12, 2021

This is Dr. Cabanas’ artistic rendering of my heraldic batons; I have two versions, the one shown here, with each baton being crowned with my crest, is the primary version; there is also another, alternate version (not shown) where each baton is crowned with my badge. As always, his work is extraordinary and quite beautiful.
