EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases a French infantry soldier during the reign of King Charles IX in 1572. Created by artist Hippolyte Lecomte and handcolored by Lorenzo Bianchi and Domenico Cuciniello, this artwork offers a glimpse into the military fashion of the 16th century. The soldier is depicted wearing a morion helmet, breastplate, chainmail hauberk, tassets, breeches, and hose. He stands confidently with his sword at his side and an arquebus slung over his shoulder. The intricate details of his attire highlight the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating these uniforms. The black and white aesthetic adds a sense of timelessness to the image while also emphasizing the stark contrast between light and shadow. This lithograph captures not only the physical appearance but also the spirit of this French infantry soldier from centuries ago. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to an era when soldiers like him fought for their king on battlefields far away. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind costume design as well as the bravery exhibited by those who served in combat units.
