EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Spanish bishop from the 16th century, as depicted in a painting by renowned artist Murillo. The handcolored illustration, created by talented artist E. Lechevallier-Chevignard and lithographed by A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie, emanates an air of formality and ceremonial grandeur. The bishop is adorned in his ecclesiastical habit, complete with intricate robes and an ornate mitre atop his head. This depiction captures the essence of religious artistry and the significance of ceremony within the Catholic Church during this period. Published in Paris in 1867 as part of Georges Duplessis' "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries), this image is a testament to the continuation of Bonnard's and Mercuri's earlier series on costumes from previous centuries. Edmond Lechevallier-Chevignard was not only an accomplished artist but also an interior designer for public buildings and churches. His attention to detail is evident in this exquisite engraving that brings to life the fashion trends and clothing styles prevalent during this era. With its vibrant colors and meticulous execution, this artwork transports us back to a time when ecclesiastic garments held great importance both as symbols of faith and expressions of artistic beauty. It serves as a reminder of Spain's rich cultural heritage while showcasing Lechevallier-Chevignard's mastery as an artist capturing history through his works.
