EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled "Costumes of the Late 15th Century," is an intriguing glimpse into the fashionable attire of the time, as depicted in a French miniature painting by Etienne. The image showcases an array of figures, each dressed in the height of late 15th-century style. In the foreground, a youth is depicted in a mi-parti double and hose, an outfit characterized by its split design that reveals one leg. His short cape, adorned with a bird and feather, adds a touch of elegance to his ensemble. The woman in the background, with her broom in hand, wears a voluminous dress with hanging sleeves and a jagged hem. The intricate design of her dress, complete with a high neckline and elaborate patterns, is a testament to the intricacy and artistry of the time. Another figure, identified as a woodsman, is dressed in workclothes, including a hat, hood, doublet, and leggings. His rugged attire reflects the practicality and functionality required for life in the woods. The figures in this miniature painting are a fascinating representation of the diverse range of fashion and social classes during the late 15th century. This stunning illustration is a product of the artistic and scholarly endeavors of Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, a German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher. The illustration was lithographed by C. Regnier and is part of Hefner-Alteneck's extensive collection of artworks and appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th century. This image is a must-see for anyone interested in fashion history, art, or the social customs of the late medieval period. This chromolithograph is a valuable addition to any library or collection, and its intricate details and vibrant colors bring the fashion of the late 15th century to life. The image is currently housed in the Darmstadt Art Library and is available for viewing through Mary Evans Prints Online.
