EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured illustration captures the costume of a Dominican nun from the 14th century. The painting by Ambrogio Lorenzetti beautifully depicts the attire worn by these religious women during that time period. The nun is seen wearing a black veil, which symbolizes her commitment to God and her vow of chastity. Over her shoulders, she dons a brown scapular, representing her dedication to serving others through acts of charity and selflessness. Her white tunic signifies purity and simplicity in line with the teachings of Saint Dominic. Paul Mercuri's meticulous lithography brings out the intricate details of this historical costume, allowing us to appreciate its elegance and significance. The artist's attention to detail highlights each fold in the fabric, creating a lifelike representation. Accompanied by text written by Camille Bonnard for "Historical Costumes from the 12th to 15th Centuries" this print offers viewers an educational glimpse into medieval fashion trends within religious orders. Preserved since its publication in Levy Fils' collection in Paris in 1860, this artwork continues to be admired for its historical accuracy and artistic beauty. Bridgeman Images has made it accessible through Fine Art Finder, ensuring that art enthusiasts can appreciate this exquisite piece from centuries past.
