EDITORS COMMENTS
Clotilde, Queen of the Franks (475-543), is depicted in this stunning handcolored copperplate drawing and engraving by Leopold Massard, taken from the renowned publication "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days." Dating back to the late medieval period, Clotilde's regal presence is captured in exquisite detail, showcasing the opulence and grandeur of the Frankish royalty. Clotilde is dressed in a chainmail underdress, a protective garment commonly worn during the early medieval era. Over this, she wears a long-sleeved tunic adorned with intricate patterns and gemstones. A flowing cape, also embellished with precious stones, drapes over her shoulders, adding an air of elegance and sophistication. A delicate veil covers Clotilde's head, secured in place by a diadem-style crown bedecked with pearls and additional gemstones. Necklaces and other jewelry made of pearls and precious stones further accentuate her regal attire. Clotilde was the daughter of Childebert I, King of the Franks, and was married to Clovis I, who would later become King of the Franks himself. After Clovis' death, Clotilde ruled as regent for her sons, ensuring the continuity of the Frankish kingdom. Her strong leadership and piety earned her a place in history as one of the most influential women of the early Middle Ages. This image of Clotilde, Queen of the Franks, is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of the medieval period. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the handcolored copperplate drawing and engraving bring the past to life, offering a glimpse into the world of the Frankish royalty and their fashion.
