EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor on parchment, titled "Les portraits des capitouls de l'année 1393-1394," is a captivating page from Livre I des annales, a historical record kept by the city of Toulouse, France, between 1295 and 1532. The anonymous artist meticulously rendered portraits of the Capitouls, or municipal magistrates, of Toulouse for the year 1393-1394. The Capitouls were an essential component of the medieval civic administration, responsible for maintaining law and order, collecting taxes, and managing public works. Their portraits were included in the annals to commemorate their service and contributions to the city. The portraits are rendered in delicate watercolor, with each figure depicted against a monochromatic background. The subjects are shown in various poses, some facing forward, others in profile, and some in three-quarter view. Each figure is dressed in the robes and headgear of his office, adding to their authenticity and historical significance. The intricate details of the clothing, facial features, and accessories reveal the individuality of each Capitoul, making this artwork a valuable record of medieval Toulouse's civic leaders. The watercolor technique used in this artwork showcases the skill and artistry of the anonymous artist, highlighting the importance of book art and fine art images in preserving historical records and cultural heritage. This precious artwork is housed in the Archives municipales de Toulouse, a testament to the city's rich history and artistic legacy. The portraits of the Capitouls of 1393-1394 offer a glimpse into the past, providing insights into the lives and roles of the individuals who shaped the city of Toulouse during the late Middle Ages.
