EDITORS COMMENTS
Philip III the Bold, King of France (1245-1285), is depicted in this stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving by Leopold Massard, drawn from the comprehensive work "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days." This exquisite image showcases the grandeur and opulence of the medieval French monarchy. Philip III, born in 1245, ascended to the throne in 1270 following the death of his father, Louis IX. He is remembered for his military conquests, particularly his successful campaigns against Flanders and Artois. In this portrait, Philip III is shown in his ceremonial robes, wearing a long, ermine-lined tunic adorned with fleurs-de-lys, the symbol of the French monarchy. The king's regal attire is completed with a magnificent crown, a scepter, and an ornate mantle. The intricate details of the engraving reveal the meticulous craftsmanship of the time. The ermine fur, the delicate embroidery on the tunic, and the intricate designs on the crown and scepter are all rendered with remarkable precision. The use of hand-coloring adds an additional layer of richness and depth to the image, making it a captivating representation of medieval French royalty. Leopold Massard, the artist behind this masterpiece, was a renowned engraver and illustrator of his time. His work, along with that of his collaborators Mifliez and Massard, was published in "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days," a comprehensive and accurate record of medieval and early modern French fashion. This image of Philip III the Bold is not only a testament to the artistic skill of Massard but also a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the opulent world of medieval French royalty.
