EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Giulio Ferrario in 1837 for his renowned work "Il Costume Antico e Moderno," showcases an intriguing gathering of historical figures from the medieval and Renaissance eras. The central figures are Boniface III (985-1052), Margrave of Tuscany, and his wife Matilda of Canossa (1046-1115), Margravine of Tuscany. Boniface is depicted in a grand golden hat, a chlamys (a type of cloak), and a blue tunic, while Matilda wears a richly decorated gown. Accompanying them are Pietro Lante, a Roman Senator from the 14th century, and Federico da Montefeltro (1422-1482), Lord of Urbino. Pietro is dressed in the attire of a Roman senator, while Federico dons a red tunic, a black cape, and a golden hat adorned with a feather. The setting of this historical tableau is not explicitly stated in the image, but it is believed to take place in the Certosa di Pavia monastery in Lombardy. The frescoes on the monastery's ceiling, attributed to Ambrogio Borgognone, are a likely inspiration for the illustration. This engraving offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and historical contexts of these notable figures, providing a valuable contribution to our understanding of the medieval and Renaissance periods in Italy. The meticulous attention to detail in the hand-coloring further enhances the visual appeal and historical significance of this image.
