EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative hand-colored lithograph, Jean VIII of Harcourt, Comte d'Aumale et de Mortain (1396-1424), a prominent French knight, is depicted in his full regalia. The intricately detailed image, taken from the tomb in the college church of Liege and part of Bernard de Montfaucon's extensive collection, offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the medieval period. Jean VIII is shown wearing a surtout, a long, open-fronted outer garment, adorned with intricate designs and fringes. Beneath it, he wears a casaque, a type of short tunic, which is cinched at the waist with a wide belt. The hose, which are fitted breeches, are visible beneath the casaque, and are held up by a series of straps and buckles. The knight's feet are encased in high, laced boots, adding to the overall impression of elegance and refinement. The meticulous attention to detail in this lithograph is truly remarkable, with every fold, seam, and embellishment rendered with care and precision. The rich colors and shading add depth and texture to the image, bringing the figure of Jean VIII to life and transporting us back to the medieval world. This historical record is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the past, offering us a valuable insight into the fashion and style of the time. The image of Jean VIII, with his proud bearing and imposing presence, serves as a reminder of the noble traditions and heroic deeds of the medieval knights, whose legacy continues to inspire and captivate us to this day.
