EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph print transports us back in time to the opulent world of the French court during the reign of King Louis XIII (1610-1643). The image captures a nobleman in his grand court attire, standing with his back to the viewer, as if deep in thought or in the midst of a quiet conversation. Dressed in the elegant style of the early 17th century, the man's costume is a testament to the grandeur and sophistication of the French nobility during this period. The voluminous, high-waisted doublet, adorned with intricate lace and embroidery, is worn over a padded and slashed shirt. A wide, velvet collar frames the neck, and a decorative sash is tied around the waist. The nobleman's long, flowing breeches are held up by a wide, leather belt, and his feet are shod in high, buckled shoes. The elaborate, lace-trimmed cape, or mantle, is draped over his shoulders, adding an air of regality to his appearance. The court of Louis XIII was renowned for its grandeur and extravagance, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the world of the French nobility during this time. The intricate details of the nobleman's costume, from the lace and embroidery to the rich fabrics and textures, serve as a reminder of the wealth and power that were on display at the royal court. This photograph, taken in 1633, is a valuable historical record of the fashion and culture of the French nobility during the early years of the 17th century. It invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and sensations of the court, and to appreciate the rich history and heritage that continue to influence our world today.
