EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to 15th century France, offering a glimpse into the world of knights and their loyal companions. The central figure in the image is a page or squire, known as a Varlet or damoiseau, who served under a knight. Dressed in an exquisitely embroidered red pourpoint and hose, he stands proudly with an epee and shield in hand. The attention to detail is remarkable; every stitch on his attire speaks of elegance and sophistication. The vibrant red color of his pourpoint catches the eye, symbolizing courage and passion. His posture exudes confidence as he holds his weapons confidently but without any coat of arms on his shield. This handcolored lithograph by Leopold Massard beautifully captures the essence of medieval French fashion and weaponry. It was inspired by a tarot card created by Jacquemin Gringonneur for the Bibliotheque Nationale. As we delve into this historical artwork from Paul Lacroix's "Costumes Historique de la France" we are transported to an era where chivalry reigned supreme. This image serves as a testament to the intricate craftsmanship that went into creating such elaborate costumes during this period. Through this photo print, we can appreciate not only the artistic beauty but also gain insight into the social hierarchy and customs prevalent in 15th century France.
