EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, created in 1849 by Thurwanger Freres, takes us on a journey back to the 15th and 16th centuries. Featured are four individuals representing different social classes and occupations during this period. The artist beautifully captures their distinct costumes and attire, providing a glimpse into the fashion of that era. In the foreground stands a common girl from 1560, her simple yet elegant dress reflecting her modest status. Beside her is a Gantois craftswoman from the 15th century, showcasing her skilled occupation with pride. A Flemish jew of 1570 is depicted wearing traditional Jewish clothing, symbolizing both religious identity and profession. Lastly, we see a wealthy Flemish bourgeois woman from the 15th century exuding opulence through her lavish attire. This lithograph serves as an artistic interpretation based on original images from the Middle Ages and Renaissance periods. Its vibrant colors bring life to these historical figures while preserving their authenticity. The print offers valuable insights into various aspects of society during this time - class distinctions, religious affiliations, and occupational roles among women. It allows us to appreciate how fashion played an essential role in expressing one's identity within these contexts. Preserved in Le Moyen Age et la Renaissance by Paul Lacroix, Ferdinand Sere, and A Rivaud (Volume III), this remarkable piece transports us back centuries ago while reminding us of our rich cultural heritage.
