EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate print depicts Louis X, also known as Louis the Quarreller, who reigned as King of France from 1289 to 1316. The intricately detailed engraving by Leopold Massard, from the publication "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days," offers a glimpse into the grandeur and opulence of the medieval French court. Louis X is shown wearing a ceremonial robe adorned with gold and embroidery, featuring the fleurs-de-lys, the symbol of the French monarchy. The king's robe is lined with ermine, a fur commonly used in royal attire as a sign of rank and prestige. The damask fabric, with its distinctive woven pattern, adds an elegant touch to the ensemble. Atop Louis X's head rests a gold crown, embellished with precious stones and fleurs-de-lys, symbolizing his royal status. The king's feet are clad in cracows, high-heeled shoes popular during the medieval period, and his legs are encased in poulaines, wide-legged hose that were fashionable at the time. The meticulous attention to detail in this print, from the intricate embroidery to the realistic rendering of the king's facial features, provides a fascinating window into the fashion and style of the medieval French court. This image offers a unique perspective on the history and culture of the time, making it an essential addition to any collection of historical art or costume studies.
