1. Title: "Cangrande or Can Francesco della Scala, Lord of Verona (1291-1329): A Medieval Nobleman in His Regal Attire" This handcolored illustration, drawn and lithographed by Paul Mercuri with text by Camille Bonnard, transports us back to the 14th century and the court of Cangrande or Can Francesco della Scala, the esteemed lord of Verona. Born in 1291, Cangrande ruled the city from 1313 to 1329, leaving an indelible mark on its history. The image showcases Cangrande in his resplendent attire, donning a blue cap adorned with a white plume and a pink cape with hanging sleeves lined with fur. A belted scarlet robe adds an air of regality, while gauntlets protect his hands. In his right hand, he holds a two-handed sword ensconced in a blue scabbard. This illustration, taken from Cangrande's sarcophagus in the Church of Santa Maria Antica in Verona, is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the medieval nobility. The intricate details of his clothing, from the fur-lined cape to the ornate sword, are a reflection of the wealth and power that Cangrande wielded during his reign. The meticulous craftsmanship of this historical representation, as depicted in the 1860 publication "Historical Costumes from the 12th to 15th Centuries" by Levy Fils in Paris, offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of the medieval world and the lives of its noble figures. This illustration serves as a reminder of the intricate interplay between power, fashion, and artistry during this fascinating era.
