EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases the exquisite costume of a Chancellor of France from 1580. Created in 1825 by Hippolyte Lecomte, this handcoloured lithograph captures the intricate details of the chancellor's attire with remarkable precision. The chancellor is depicted wearing a velvet cap and robe lined with ermine, exuding an air of authority and elegance. The attention to detail in this artwork suggests that it may be Cardinal Rene de Birague, who served as chancellor from 1573-1583 during King Henry III's reign. Lorenzo Bianchi and Domenico Cuciniello skillfully collaborated with Lecomte to bring this historical figure to life through their vibrant handcolouring technique. This print is part of the Italian edition of Lecomte's renowned work on civilian and military costumes of the French monarchy from 1200 to 1820. The black and white composition adds a touch of timelessness to this image, allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty. It offers us a glimpse into sixteenth-century fashion trends while showcasing the opulence associated with high-ranking officials during that era. This lithograph serves as a testament to the enduring allure of fashion throughout history, highlighting how clothing can reflect power, status, and cultural identity. Whether you are fascinated by politics or simply appreciate fine art, this print will undoubtedly captivate your imagination.
