EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Coat-of-arms of the Grain-measurers of Ghent, a remarkable engraving by the French School in the 19th century. Housed in a private collection, this artwork depicts the ceremonial banner of these esteemed grain-measurers dating back to 1568. The image has been digitally cleaned, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail. The coat-of-arms proudly represents an important aspect of medieval life - grain measurement and trade. It offers a glimpse into the customs, arms, manners, and dress during that era. This piece is part of Paul Lacroix's renowned work on Manners, Customs, and Dress during the Middle Ages. The engraving transports us to Renaissance-era Flanders in Belgium where grain played a vital role in society. The weapon depicted alongside the coat-of-arms symbolizes defense and protection for those involved in this profession. As we observe this mesmerizing artwork, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also how fashion has evolved over time. The cloak-like jacket worn by figures within adds an air of elegance to their attire while providing warmth during colder seasons. This print serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Its rich symbolism and attention to detail make it an invaluable addition to any fine art collection or exhibition dedicated to exploring European customs throughout different ages.
