EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored illustration, titled "Young Man of Milan," is an exquisite representation of fashion and elegance during the 15th century. Drawn and lithographed by Paul Mercuri under the textual guidance of Camille Bonnard, this masterpiece is taken from the comprehensive work "Historical Costumes from the 12th to 15th Centuries," published in Paris by Levy Fils in 1860. The young man in the portrait dons an ensemble that embodies the opulence and sophistication of the era. He wears a doublet, a fitted jacket with a pointed front and padded shoulders, which was a popular garment among men during the late Middle Ages. The doublet is adorned with intricate gold and silver embroidery, adding a regal touch to the attire. Beneath the doublet, the young man wears a tunic, which is a long, loose-fitting garment that covers the entire body. The tunic is worn with a pair of trousers, which were becoming increasingly popular during the 15th century as an alternative to the traditional hose. The trousers are held up by a belt, which accentuates the waistline and adds a sense of structure to the ensemble. The young man completes his look with a pair of high, laced boots, which were essential footwear during this period. The boots not only protected the feet but also added height and elegance to the overall appearance. The intricate details of the Young Man of Milan's attire, as depicted in this handcolored illustration, provide a fascinating glimpse into the fashion trends and styles of the 15th century. This portrait is not only a testament to the artistic skill of Paul Mercuri and Camille Bonnard but also a valuable historical document that sheds light on the sartorial choices of the past.
