EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Homme de l'Isle de Candie' (1797) is an intriguing and captivating engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse, showcasing the distinctive attire and accessories of a man from the Isle of Crete in the Mediterranean. This full-length image, hand-tinted on paper, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Europe during the 18th century, specifically the 1790s. The man is depicted in traditional Cretan clothing, including harem pants and a long-sleeved tunic. He wears a wide-brimmed hat, and his feet are adorned with carriage boots. The man's arms are crossed in front of his chest, adding a sense of strength and confidence to his posture. The intricate details of the clothing, accessories, and even the texture of the man's skin are beautifully rendered in this hand-colored engraving. The title 'Costumes de Différents Pays' translates to 'Costumes of Different Countries,' indicating that this work was part of a larger series. The 'Homme de l'Isle de Candie' specifically refers to a man from the Isle of Crete, which was part of the Mediterranean world and had a unique cultural identity that blended Greek and European influences. This historic artwork is an essential resource for anthropologists, ethnologists, and fashion historians, offering insights into the clothing, accessories, and cultural practices of people from different parts of Europe and the Mediterranean during the 18th century. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to have this rare and valuable piece in its collection, preserving it for future generations to study and appreciate.
