EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisitely hand-colored copperplate engraving, we find a captivating portrait of Clovis II, the esteemed son of Dagobert I, who ruled as King of Neustria and Burgundy from 634 to 657 AD. The image, drawn and engraved by the renowned artist Leopold Massard for the publication "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days," offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and regal attire of the early medieval period. Clovis II is depicted wearing the regal insignia of his royal status. Atop his head rests a grand, jeweled crown, its arches adorned with intricate designs and precious stones. A richly embroidered tunic, likely made of wool or linen, covers his upper body, its sleeves extending to his wrists. A cape, fastened at the neck with a clasp, drapes over his shoulders, providing both warmth and an air of royal authority. Beneath his tunic, Clovis II wears a pair of leather shoes, their high, laced design reflecting the practicality and durability required for the daily life of a medieval monarch. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable, from the individual strands of the crown's jewels to the intricate patterns on the tunic and cape. This striking portrait of Clovis II not only showcases the fashion and style of the early medieval period but also highlights the artistic skill of Leopold Massard. By meticulously capturing the details of Clovis II's attire and regal bearing, Massard brings the history of this influential king to life, allowing us to connect with the past in a tangible and captivating way.
