Ladies of the 13th Century - A Glimpse into Medieval Elegance
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to the enchanting world of the 13th century. Created in 1842 by Joseph Strutt, this handcoloured engraving showcases the timeless beauty and grace of women from that era. The ladies depicted here are adorned in exquisite mantles fastened with delicate brooches, which elegantly drape over their long robes. One lady holds a book, perhaps symbolizing her intellect and education during a time when knowledge was highly valued. This artwork is based on an illustration from "The Harley Hours" specifically depicting the Visitation of the Virgin Mary with St Elizabeth. The attention to detail in Strutt's engraving brings these historical figures to life, capturing their regal presence and refined fashion sense. Strutt's work is part of his larger project titled "Complete View of the Dress and Habits of the People of England". This ambitious endeavor aimed to document English costume throughout history, providing valuable insights into societal norms and cultural practices. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded not only of England's rich heritage but also its enduring influence on European culture. The intricate costume design showcased here reflects British elegance while offering a glimpse into medieval fashion trends that continue to inspire contemporary designers. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece as part of their Fine Art Finder collection, allowing us to appreciate and celebrate these Ladies of the 13th Century for generations to come.
