EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph captures the elegance and opulence of French costumes from the late 15th century. The scene depicts a noblewoman in a luxurious fur-lined dress being visited by a bourgeois man or scholar who kneels before her, showcasing the social hierarchy and etiquette of the time. The intricate details of their attire, from the broad shoes to the heraldic coat of arms at the bottom, transport us back to this fascinating period in history.
The inspiration for this illustration comes from a miniature painting found in a parchment codex of the Life of St. Jerome translated into French, housed in Stuttgart Library. Created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German museum curator and art historian, this piece is part of his larger collection titled "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century" published in Frankfurt in 1889.
Through this chromolithograph, we are given a glimpse into not only the fashion trends but also the cultural norms and societal structures that defined life in France during this period. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of an era rich with tradition and sophistication.
