EDITORS COMMENTS
Charles II de Cleves, Comte de Nevers et d'Eu (1482-1521): A Regal Portrait of the Mark of Cleves Charles II de Cleves, Comte de Nevers et d'Eu, Comte de Rethel, is depicted in this stunning handcoloured lithograph, showcasing the opulence and grandeur of the late 15th century. Born in 1482 as the son of Engilbert de Cleves and Charlotte de Bourbon, Charles was a prominent figure in the Mark of Cleves, a territory located in present-day northern France and the Netherlands. In this portrait, Charles wears a damask manteau, a luxurious and elegant outer garment, adorned with gold royons, or tassels, adding a regal touch to his appearance. Beneath the manteau, he dons a white pourpoint, a fitted jacket, and hose. The pourpoint features intricate embroidery and lacing, reflecting the refined taste and wealth of the nobleman. This portrait is an exquisite example of the artistic and fashionable trends of the late 15th century. It was inspired by an original painting from Roger de Gaignières portfolios, which were published in Le Bibliophile Jacob's Costumes Historiques de la France in 1852. The handcoloured lithograph captures the intricate details of Charles' attire, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of the era. Charles II de Cleves held various titles throughout his life, including Count of Nevers, d'Eu, and Rethel. He was a significant figure in the political landscape of the time, and this portrait offers a glimpse into the opulent world of the French and Flemish nobility during the late Middle Ages.
