EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving, created by Robert von Spalart for his Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages, published in Vienna in 1837, captures the essence of the 16th century as it depicts a nobleman from Poland and a woman from Lithuania. The nobleman, dressed in the traditional attire of the Polish aristocracy, wears a long, fur-lined robe, a velvet doublet, and a high-crowned hat adorned with feathers. His beard is meticulously groomed, and his expression is one of regal confidence. The woman from Lithuania, on the other hand, is depicted in the traditional garb of the Lithuanian nobility. She wears a long, flowing gown with intricate embroidery, a high-waisted belt, and a headdress made of flowers and feathers. Her long, flowing hair is adorned with pearls and jewels, and her expression is one of grace and beauty. The background of the engraving is simple, with a plain, textured pattern, allowing the focus to remain on the intricately detailed costumes of the two figures. The use of handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a stunning representation of the fashion and culture of the 16th century in Poland and Lithuania. This engraving is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Central Europe during the Middle Ages, and it continues to be a valuable resource for historians, artists, and enthusiasts of historical fashion. The intricate details and beautiful colors make it a captivating work of art that transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the lives of the noblemen and women of Poland and Lithuania in the 16th century.
