EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative 16th-century hand-colored copperplate engraving by Nasi, taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," we witness a poignant and significant moment in the life of a man from Entlebuch, a region in Switzerland. Two Calvinist priests are seen laying their hands upon him as he kneels on a plush cushion, surrounded by mourning women in black clothing, including a woman from Zurich. The occasion is likely a confirmation ceremony, a special rite of passage in Calvinist faith marking the transition from childhood to adulthood. The man's attire, simple and rustic, indicates that he is a peasant, reflecting the traditional way of life in the region during the feudal era. The presence of a log cabin, barrel, and various tools in the background further underscores the rural setting. The woman in mourning attire, known as "lutto," signifies the somber and introspective nature of the event. The combination of the religious ceremony and the mourning women adds an air of solemnity and importance to the occasion. The intricate details of the engraving, from the textures of the clothing to the expressions on the faces of the participants, provide a glimpse into the past, offering a historical and cultural insight into the fashion and traditions of the Calvinist community in Switzerland during the 18th century. The image serves as a testament to the enduring power of religious rituals and the significance they hold in shaping the lives of individuals and communities.
