EDITORS COMMENTS
Foemina ex Praecipua Nobi' (Woman of Distinguished Nobility) is a stunning woodcut print from the Costume Book of Nuremberg, created by the renowned German artist Jost Amman in 1577. This exquisite artwork, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcases the elegance and sophistication of 16th-century German fashion. The intricately detailed print depicts a graceful woman dressed in the latest fashion, adorned with vibrant colors and elaborate textures. The lettering above her head, "Foemina ex Praecipua Nobi' (Woman of Distinguished Nobility), emphasizes her status and importance. The dress, with its voluminous skirt and fitted bodice, is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the time. Jost Amman, a Swiss artist who spent most of his career in Nuremberg, Germany, was known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. This print, created using the pouchoir technique, which involved applying color to a monochrome print using a brush, showcases Amman's mastery of both woodcut and color. The Costume Book of Nuremberg, also known as Trachtenbuch von Nurnberg, was a popular publication during the Renaissance period, providing a record of fashion trends and social status in Germany during the late 16th century. This particular print, Foemina ex Praecipua Nobi', is a standout example of the elegance and sophistication of the era, and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of European art.
