EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays: 'Habitant de l'Isle de Santorin' by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur (1797) is an engraved and hand-tinted print showcasing the traditional attire of a man from the Greek island of Santorini. The eighteenth-century artwork, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), captures the unique character of the subject with remarkable detail and vibrant color. The man is depicted in full length, standing outside against a plain background, allowing the intricacies of his costume to take center stage. He wears a striped shirt, which is tucked into a pair of wide-legged trousers, and a long, flowing outer garment. A wide-brimmed hat adorns his head, and a moustache frames his face. The costume, reflecting the island's rich cultural heritage, is a testament to the diverse and intriguing fashion traditions of the time. Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, a French artist and ethnographer, created this series of costumes from various countries, including this one of the 'Habitant de l'Isle de Santorin'. His work, which was published in the late 1790s, is considered a significant contribution to the fields of anthropology and ethnology, providing valuable insights into the clothing and customs of different peoples and continents. This portrait invites us to explore the rich history and diversity of the world, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the unique traditions of different cultures.
