EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic figure of Alexander Vitelleschi, a Knight of Empire and Count Palatin from the 11th century. Dressed in an anachronistic costume that combines elements from different eras, Vitelleschi stands out with his burnt siena cape and tunic, complemented by a striking red toque atop his head. His lead-colored stockings and gold spurs add further intrigue to his ensemble. The image originates from a 14th-century sepulchral monument located in Corneto, Italy. Handcolored by Paul Mercuri and accompanied by descriptive text written by Camille Bonnard, this illustration is part of "Historical Costumes from the 12th to 15th Centuries" published in Paris in 1860.
