EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a widow from Hans Weigel's Book of Costume, dating back to 1577. The image, originally a colour lithograph created by the German School in the 16th century, captures the essence of mourning and modesty during the Renaissance period. The woman depicted in this illustration is dressed in a sombre coat and dress, symbolizing her status as a widower. Her attire reflects the fashion trends of the late 16th century, with its intricate design and attention to detail. The colours used in this lithograph add depth and richness to her ensemble. As we delve into history through this image, we are transported back to a time when grief was openly expressed through clothing choices. This widow's mournful expression evokes empathy and curiosity about her story. This print is not only an artistic representation but also serves as a historical document that sheds light on European culture during that era. It reminds us of how fashion has always been intertwined with societal norms and personal experiences. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this piece from their private collection, allowing us to appreciate both its aesthetic value and historical significance. Through this photograph, we can explore themes such as femininity, loss, and the evolution of costume design throughout centuries past.
