EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled "Gallus and Postumien" takes us back to the 13th century in France. The artwork, created by Ciappori and lithographed by Krause, is an exceptional example of chromolithography. It portrays two figures, Gallus and Postumien, dressed in medieval attire. The image is part of a series called Les Arts Somptuaires, Histoire du Costume et de l'Amueublement (Hangard-Mauge, 1858), which explores the history of fashion and furnishings. In this particular print, we witness the clothing styles worn during the Middle Ages. Gallus and Postumien are depicted as monks, representing the religious aspect of that era. Their garments reflect the modesty and simplicity associated with monastic life. The attention to detail in their robes showcases the skillful technique employed by Ciappori and Krause. This artwork offers a glimpse into a time when fashion was intertwined with religion and social status. It reminds us of how clothing has always been a form of self-expression throughout history. Displayed in private collections today, this chromolithograph serves as a testament to both artistic talent and historical preservation. Its vibrant colors bring life to an otherwise distant past while allowing us to appreciate the intricate craftsmanship behind medieval fashions.
