Adele of Vermandois, Countess of Flanders (d. 978): A Regal Portrait from Medieval France This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving, drawn and engraved by Leopold Massard, presents a captivating image of Adele of Vermandois, Countess of Flanders, who lived during the late 10th century. The portrait, taken from the comprehensive work "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days" by Massard, Mifliez, and published in Paris in 1834, offers a glimpse into the opulent fashion and grandeur of the medieval period. The Countess is depicted wearing an elegant robe, adorned with intricate patterns and rich colors, which is draped over a voluminous under-garment known as a cape. A delicate guimpe, a linen or woolen band, is visible at the neckline, while a wimple, a triangular piece of fabric, is wrapped around her head and secured with a veil. The veil, which covers her hair, is held in place by a diadem or headband, adding an air of regality to her appearance. Adele of Vermandois was a significant figure in medieval history, holding the title of Countess of Flanders during a time of political turmoil and change. Her fashion, as depicted in this engraving, reflects the grandeur and sophistication of the medieval aristocracy. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the engraving serve as a testament to the artistic skill of Leopold Massard and the enduring allure of medieval fashion.
