EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a German fifer from the 16th century, captured in an engraving by Edmond Lechevallier-Chevignard in 1867. The fifer is depicted wearing a plumed cap and a vibrant red and green doublet with slashed puff sleeves, showcasing the intricate fashion of the time. His attire also includes a codpiece, striped culottes, and hose, highlighting the unique style of German Landsknechte musicians during this period. The handcolored lithograph was based on an illustration by Hans Guldenmundt and is part of Georges Duplessiss Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries). Lechevallier-Chevignard was not only an artist but also a book illustrator and interior designer. This artwork offers us a glimpse into history as it beautifully captures the traditional costume worn by German musicians during the Renaissance era. The musician's flute suggests that he would have entertained crowds with lively melodies that filled the air. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from their Fine Art Finder collection. It serves as both an artistic representation of historical clothing design and as a testament to Germany's rich cultural heritage. This engraving allows us to appreciate not only the skillful artistry involved but also provides insight into society at that time through its depiction of traditional attire worn by fifers like him.
