EDITORS COMMENTS
John V, Duke of Brittany and Count of Montfort (1339-1399), is depicted in this stunning handcolored copperplate engraving by Leopold Massard, drawn from the French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days publication. The Duke is shown wearing an elaborate and richly textured outfit typical of the late medieval period. He dons a tall, conical hat known as a chaperon, which is adorned with a turban-like fold at the top and a long, flowing drape that falls down the back. The Duke's robe is made of velvet, a luxurious fabric that was highly prized during this time. The robe is lined with squirrel fur, adding an extra layer of warmth and opulence. The Duke's facial expression is serious and regal, reflecting his status as a powerful ruler. His beard is neatly trimmed, and his hair is styled in tight curls. The Duke's hands are folded in front of him, signifying his calm and thoughtful demeanor. The intricate details of the Duke's costume, from the folds of his robe to the patterns on his chaperon, are expertly rendered in the engraving, showcasing the skill of the artist. John V was a significant figure in Breton and French history. He played a key role in the Hundred Years War between England and France, and was a patron of the arts and learning. This portrait provides a glimpse into the fashion and culture of the late medieval period, and serves as a reminder of the rich history and heritage of Europe during this time.
