EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Costume Plate depicting the Wife of a Warrior from Germany, dating back to the years 1558-70. The identity of the creator remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to this remarkable piece. The woman in the image is adorned in exquisite attire that reflects her status and country's heritage. She wears a beautifully detailed dress with intricate patterns and layers, showcasing the fashion trends of 16th-century Germany. A cloak drapes gracefully over her shoulders, adding an element of elegance to her ensemble. Her hat features an ostrich feather, symbolizing opulence and sophistication. The attention to detail is evident as each feather is delicately engraved on this Italian-made costume plate by Enea Vico. Intriguingly, she holds a basket containing a small bird - perhaps representing freedom or domesticity - while another bird perches nearby on what seems like a branch. These elements add depth and symbolism to the composition. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print offers viewers a glimpse into history through its portrayal of German fashion during this period. Its monochromatic aesthetic adds timelessness to the image, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance. As we admire this snapshot from centuries ago captured by an anonymous artist, we are reminded once again how art can transcend time and connect us with our pasts in profound ways.
