Alan IV, Duke of Brittany (1040-1119): A Regal Figure in Oriental Style This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate engraving, drawn and engraved by Leopold Massard, captures the regal presence of Alan IV, Duke of Brittany, who ruled from 1084 until his death in 1119. The image is taken from the esteemed publication, "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days," published in Paris in 1834. Duke Alan IV is depicted wearing an oriental-style robe, adorned with intricate brocade patterns, and a turban wrapped around his head. The fur-lined robe adds an air of luxury and warmth, while the shoes peeking out from beneath the hem display a practical touch. A scarf is draped over his shoulders, adding a sense of elegance and grandeur. Alan IV's appearance in this engraving reflects the cultural influences of his time. As a Crusader, he would have come into contact with various Eastern cultures, which is evident in his choice of attire. This image provides a fascinating glimpse into the fashion trends of the medieval period, as well as the cultural exchange that took place during this time. The meticulous detail in this hand-colored engraving brings the Duke to life, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of the time. The intricate patterns and textures of the robe, the delicate folds of the turban, and the subtle shading of the fur all contribute to a captivating and authentic representation of Alan IV, Duke of Brittany, and the era in which he lived.
