EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph captures the fashions of bourgeois men in Paris during the reign of King Francis I of France. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life a scene from a bygone era, showcasing the elegance and sophistication of French style in the 16th century.
The image is based on a miniature found in a manuscript at the Bibliotheque Nationale, meticulously recreated by artist Nicolas Xavier Willemin II for Paul Lacroix's renowned work "Costumes Historique de la France" (Historical Costumes of France). This historical document provides a fascinating glimpse into the sartorial choices of Parisian gentlemen during this period.
From elaborate doublets to stylish hats, each element of their attire reflects the opulence and refinement characteristic of the Renaissance era. The attention to detail in this print is truly remarkable, capturing not just clothing but also conveying a sense of social status and cultural norms prevalent at that time.
As we admire this piece, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the fashion sensibilities that defined an important chapter in French history. It serves as a reminder of how clothing can be more than just fabric - it is an expression of identity, tradition, and artistry.
