EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate print depicts Jean le Bon, also known as John II, King of France from 1319 to 1364. The image, drawn and engraved by Leopold Massard for the publication "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days," offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and regal attire of the medieval period. Jean le Bon is shown wearing a richly decorated robe, lined with fur, which was a common luxury item among the nobility of the time. The skullcap, or capuchon, worn on his head was also a popular headpiece during the Middle Ages, providing both warmth and protection. The intricately designed shoes, with their pointed toes and laces, are also noteworthy, reflecting the attention to detail and craftsmanship of the era. The use of handcoloring adds an additional layer of visual interest to the print, bringing the image to life and highlighting the vibrant colors and textures of the clothing and accessories. The overall effect is one of opulence and grandeur, fitting for a king. Jean le Bon was an important figure in French history, known for his military conquests and his patronage of the arts. His reign marked a period of cultural and artistic flourishing in France, making this image an invaluable historical record of both fashion and royal history.
