EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Kress de Kressenstein, a Patrician of Nuremberg, 16th century" takes us back to the rich history and opulence of Bavaria in the late Renaissance period. The print showcases the nobleman Kress de Kressenstein dressed in an exquisite ensemble that epitomizes the fashion trends of his time. Adorned with a plumed felt hat and a damask brocade plastron, Kress exudes elegance and refinement. His vibrant yellow puff sleeves and skirt contrast beautifully against his flesh-colored hose and red slippers. A belt adorned with a dagger and sword completes his regal attire. The artist Edmond Lechevallier-Chevignard masterfully captures every intricate detail of this historical costume. This handcolored lithograph is based on an illustration by Georges Duplessis from "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles" published in Paris in 1867. Lechevallier-Chevignard was not only an accomplished artist but also renowned as a book illustrator and interior designer. Through this artwork, he brings to life the splendor of 16th-century German society. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are transported to another era—a time when nobility reigned supreme, fashion was an art form itself, and Nuremberg thrived as one of Germany's most prosperous cities. This engraving serves as both a testament to human creativity throughout history and as a reminder of our enduring fascination with the past.
