EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 16th century portrait, titled "Saint-Megrin," is an exquisite example of French art and fashion from the past. The illustration was created by Riffaut and handcolored by Edmond Lechevallier-Chevignard, with lithography by A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie. The portrait was published as part of "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries) by Georges Duplessis in Paris, 1867. The subject of the portrait, Saint-Megrin, is depicted wearing the elegant and ornate attire of the 16th century. His richly embroidered robe is adorned with intricate patterns and gold thread, while his collar is adorned with a large cross. His hair is styled in a short, neatly combed fashion, and his face bears an expression of deep contemplation. The attention to detail in this handcolored illustration is truly remarkable. The use of vibrant colors and delicate shading brings the portrait to life, transporting us back in time to the opulent world of 16th century France. The intricate designs on Saint-Megrin's robe and collar are a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, and serve as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire us today. This portrait is not only a beautiful work of art, but also an invaluable historical document. It provides us with a glimpse into the fashion and style of the past, and offers a fascinating insight into the lives of the people who lived during the 16th century. The intricacies of the design, the vibrant colors, and the thoughtful expression on Saint-Megrin's face make this a truly captivating and timeless piece.
