EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Homme de l'Isle de Patmos' (1797) is an exquisite hand-tinted engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, showcasing the distinctive attire of a man from the Isle of Patmos in the Aegean Sea. The full-length portrait depicts the man in a rustic setting, seated on the edge of a small rowboat, with a pipe in hand and a rose in his lap. The coastal backdrop is dotted with boats and the vibrant colors of the landscape are reflected in the calm waters. Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, a French artist and ethnographer, created this image as part of his series 'Costumes de Differents Pays' (Costumes of Different Countries). The series aimed to document and preserve the traditional clothing of various continents, making it an invaluable contribution to the fields of anthropology and ethnology. The man in the image is dressed in a long coat, pantaloons, and a high-necked shirt, typical of the European style of the late 18th century. However, his headwear and footwear are distinctively Greek, featuring a turban-like headdress and sandals. The intricate details of the clothing, the textures of the fabric, and the naturalistic rendering of the man's features all contribute to the authenticity and charm of this historic artwork. This beautiful hand-colored engraving is now part of the permanent collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich cultural heritage of the past. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of ethnographic art and the importance of preserving the diverse traditions of our global community.
