EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Jean VII de Sarrebruche, Comte de Rouci (1445-1497): A Nobleman of the Late Fifteenth Century" This evocative handcoloured lithograph portrays Jean VII de Sarrebruche, Comte de Rouci, a prominent nobleman from the late fifteenth century in France. The image is derived from a miniature in Roger de Gaignières portfolio VII 56, which is part of the extensive collection "Historical Costumes of France" published by Le Bibliophile Jacob, also known as Paul Lacroix, in Paris in 1852. Jean de Sarrebruche, also known as Jean VII, Count of Roucy or Rouci, was born in 1445. He hailed from the House of Sarrebruck, a prominent German dynasty that held significant territories in Lorraine and the Duchy of Bar. This noble lineage played a crucial role in the political landscape of the late medieval period, particularly in the Duchy of Lorraine and the Kingdom of France. The lithograph captures the count in a formal attire befitting his noble status. He is depicted wearing a richly decorated tunic, likely made of velvet or damask, adorned with intricate gold and silver embroidery. A fur-trimmed mantle, draped over his shoulders, adds an extra layer of warmth and opulence. The count's head is crowned with a tall, conical headdress, a common style among the French nobility during this era. The meticulously handcoloured details in this lithograph further enhance the image's authenticity and allure. The rich hues of the count's attire and the intricate patterns of the embroidery are rendered with remarkable precision, transporting the viewer back to the opulent courts of the late fifteenth century. This image offers a glimpse into the fashion and grandeur of the French nobility during the late medieval period. It serves as an invaluable historical record, providing insights into the sartorial tastes and social norms of a bygone era.
