EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving showcases a portrait of the renowned poet, Geoffrey Chaucer. The print, created by an anonymous European artist in the 19th century, captures Chaucer's essence as he gazes confidently into the distance. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured in "Costume du Moyen Age" a publication that explored medieval fashion through manuscripts, paintings, and contemporary monuments. This particular illustration was included in the book's edition published in Brussels in 1847. Chaucer, often referred to as the Father of English Literature, is best known for his masterpiece "The Canterbury Tales". His contributions to literature during the Middle Ages have left an indelible mark on European culture. In this print, Chaucer is depicted wearing clothing typical of the period known as moyen age or medieval times. The intricate details of his attire provide valuable insights into historical costume and dress from that era. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of artistry for us to admire today. As we gaze upon this enchanting portrayal of Geoffrey Chaucer, we are reminded not only of his literary genius but also of the rich history and cultural heritage he represents.
