EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Jean I de Grailly, Comte de Foix et de Bigorre (1382-1436) Jean I de Grailly, also known as Jean de Grailly or Jean de Foix, was a prominent nobleman in the medieval Pyrenees region, serving as the Count of Foix and Bigorre from 1391 until his death in 1436. This evocative image, a hand-colored lithograph after a miniature in the Bibliotheque Nationale, offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the medieval nobleman's attire. Jean I de Grailly is depicted wearing a knee-length surtout, a long, fitted garment with a high waistline and long, wide sleeves. The surtout is adorned with intricate patterns and rich colors, reflecting the nobleman's wealth and status. A gold woven belt encircles his waist, embellished with gold acorns hanging from it. Acorns were a symbol of strength and prosperity, making this an appropriate choice for a nobleman of Jean's stature. The intricate detail of the miniature, faithfully reproduced in this hand-colored lithograph, reveals the exquisite craftsmanship of the medieval artisans. The use of vibrant colors and gold highlights adds to the regal and majestic appearance of the Count. This image is taken from "Costumes Historiques de la France," a collection of historical costumes published by Le Bibliophile Jacob, also known as Paul Lacroix, in 1852. The Administration de Librairie in Paris oversaw the publication of this important work, which documented and preserved the rich history of French fashion and costume. Jean I de Grailly's image serves as a testament to the grandeur and opulence of the medieval nobility, offering a fascinating glimpse into the past through the intricacies of his attire.
