EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1867 showcases a Benedictine abbot from Germany in the 16th century. The detailed print, created by Edmond Lechevallier-Chevignard, depicts the abbot dressed in a black habit and adorned with an embroidered mitre. He carries a bible and crozier, symbolizing his religious authority and devotion. The artist's handcolored lithograph brings to life the rich history of the Benedictines, one of the oldest Catholic religious orders. The abbot's traditional costume reflects the fashion of that era, providing us with a glimpse into the clothing styles of society during this time period. Lechevallier-Chevignard was not only an accomplished artist but also an interior designer and book illustrator. His attention to detail is evident in this engraving, capturing every intricate element of the abbot's attire. This artwork is part of Georges Duplessiss' historical costumes collection which documents fashion trends throughout centuries. It serves as a valuable resource for historians studying clothing customs across different eras. Displayed within private collections today, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both artistic skill and cultural significance. Through this image, we are transported back to 16th-century Germany where religion played a central role in society and monastic orders like the Benedictines held great influence over their communities.
