EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts the Maitre de la Chambre des Comptes, or Master of the Chamber of Accounts, during the reign of King Henry IV of France in the 16th century. The image, directed by Breton and Borromee after a miniature from Le Bibliophile Jacob's Costumes Historiques de la France, provides a fascinating glimpse into the opulent attire and grandeur of the French court during this period. The Maitre de la Chambre des Comptes was a crucial figure in the royal administration, responsible for managing the king's finances and overseeing the royal household. As such, he was expected to present a dignified and impressive appearance at court. In this print, he is depicted wearing a richly embroidered robe of office, adorned with intricate gold and silver thread, and a fur-trimmed mantle. His hat, known as a bonnet rouge, is a symbol of his position and is also embellished with precious metals. The meticulous detail in this handcoloured lithograph is truly breathtaking, from the delicate folds of the fabric to the intricate patterns of the embroidery. The use of vibrant colours and shading adds depth and texture to the image, bringing the Maitre de la Chambre des Comptes to life and transporting us back in time to the grandeur and splendour of the French court during the reign of King Henry IV. This beautiful print is a testament to the skill and artistry of the Breton and Borromee workshop, as well as the painstaking attention to detail of the miniature artist who originally created the image. It is a valuable historical record of the clothing and court culture of the 16th century, and a stunning addition to any collection of historical art or costume prints.
