EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 15th-century nobleman of Provence, depicted in this handcolored illustration by Paul Mercuri with text by Camille Bonnard from "Historical Costumes from the 12th to 15th Centuries," presents an elegant and formidable figure. The nobleman wears a tall, conical hat adorned with a falcon crest, a symbol of nobility and hunting prowess. A luxurious fur-trimmed cloak drapes over his shoulders, fastened with a wide belt. He carries a purse and a dagger at his side, essential accessories for a man of his station. The nobleman's tunic, made of rich fabric, is adorned with intricate embroidery and lace, while his coat is lined with fur and features long, pointed sleeves. His hose, or stockings, are held up by garters, and he wears high, laced shoes. The nobleman's attire reflects the opulence and grandeur of the 15th century, a time of great cultural and artistic achievements in Europe. The nobleman's posture and gaze convey a sense of confidence and determination. He appears to be holding a tournament book, a testament to his participation in the popular medieval pastime of chivalric combat. The intricate details of the illustration, from the plumes on the nobleman's hat to the textures of his fur-trimmed cloak, transport us back to a time of knights, tournaments, and courtly love. This illustration, drawn and lithographed by Paul Mercuri and accompanied by text from Camille Bonnard, is a beautiful and fascinating glimpse into the fashion and history of the 15th century. The nobleman of Provence stands as a symbol of the power, wealth, and elegance of the medieval nobility.
