EDITORS COMMENTS
In this hand-colored lithograph, we find Tanneguy IV du Chatel, Vicomte de la Belliere, a prominent figure of the late 15th century. Du Chatel held the esteemed title of Grand Maître d'Hotel for Francis II, Duke of Brittany. This exquisite image, derived from a figure in a tapestry, is part of the extensive collection "Costumes Historiques de la France" by Roger de Gaignières, published in 1852. Du Chatel's attire reflects the opulence and grandeur of the late medieval period. He is depicted wearing a richly embroidered tunic, adorned with intricate floral and geometric patterns, and a velvet mantle draped over his shoulders. The mantle is trimmed with ermine fur, a symbol of high status and nobility. A simple, yet elegant collar surrounds his neck, and a decorative belt cinches his waist. Du Chatel's hair is styled in the fashion of the time, with a long, flowing beard and mustache. His expression is serious yet composed, reflecting the importance of his role as the Duke's chief household officer. The scene in the background is taken from the biblical story of Esther and Mordecai. The story of Esther is one of courage, loyalty, and redemption, and its themes resonated deeply with the people of the time. The inclusion of this scene in the image underscores the moral values that were highly regarded during the late medieval period. This stunning lithograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of medieval France, showcasing the fashion, culture, and values of the time. Tanneguy IV du Chatel, Vicomte de la Belliere, stands as a testament to the grandeur and sophistication of the late medieval period, making this a captivating and essential addition to any historical collection.
