EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving on paper, created by the skilled hand of Antoine Masson in the 1670s, showcases François Rouxel de Medavy, the Archbishop of Rouen during the 17th century. The Archbishop is depicted wearing the grandeur and splendor of his religious attire, a testament to the power and prestige of his position within the Christian faith. The monochrome print captures the intricate details of his elaborate robe, adorned with intricate patterns and fringes, as well as the striking crucifix he holds in his right hand. François Rouxel de Medavy gazes directly at the viewer with a confident and authoritative expression, adding an element of personal connection to the artwork. The Archbishop's apparel, with its voluminous sleeves and rich fabrics, is a reflection of the opulence of the time, while the simplicity of the print's monochrome palette adds a sense of timeless elegance. This print is a valuable addition to any art collection, particularly those focused on religious art, European history, or the history of fashion. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this masterpiece in its impressive collection of prints and drawings, making it accessible to the public for appreciation and study. The image of François Rouxel de Medavy, the Archbishop of Rouen, is a striking representation of the fusion of power, religion, and fashion during the 17th century in France. This print is not only a beautiful work of art but also a significant historical document, providing insight into the lives and customs of the past.
