EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Jacques de Chabannes, Seigneur de la Palice: A Nobleman of the French Military in Full Armor" This image showcases Jacques de Chabannes, Seigneur de la Palice, a distinguished French military officer from the late 15th and early 16th centuries. The hand-colored lithograph, created after a figure in Roger de Gaignières portfolios from Le Bibliophile Jacob aka Paul Lacroix's Historical Costumes of France, beautifully captures the essence of this nobleman's regal presence. Seigneur de la Palice is depicted wearing an impressive suit of armor, featuring iron-plate tonlets with scarlet coat of arms proudly displayed over his shoulders. The tonlets, square plates attached to the shoulders of the armor, were a common feature among French nobility during this period. The vibrant scarlet color of the coat of arms adds a striking contrast against the dark, polished armor, highlighting the wearer's noble status. Jacques de Chabannes, born in 1470, was a significant figure in the French military. He served under King Louis XII and later, King Francis I. His military career was marked by numerous victories and honors, including the title of Grand Master of the Artillery and the Order of Saint Michel. This print offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the French nobility during the Renaissance period. The intricate details of the armor, the vivid colors of the coat of arms, and the noble bearing of Seigneur de la Palice all contribute to a powerful and evocative image that transports us back in time.
