EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A 16th Century Farm Girl of Belluno, Italy, in Sandals" This handcolored copperplate engraving, created by Robert von Spalart for his Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages in 1796, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the simple yet authentic attire of a farm girl from Belluno, Italy, during the 16th century. The young woman, with her expressive face and soft features, is depicted barefoot and wearing traditional sandals, known as "campagnole," which were commonly used by rural inhabitants in Italy during this era. The sandals, made of supple leather, are intricately designed, featuring thongs that crisscross over the instep and around the ankles, securing the foot in place. The farm girl's clothing consists of a long, flowing, and simple tunic, which is girdled at the waist with a wide belt. Her hair is styled in loose braids, and she wears a headscarf, which is a common accessory for women during this time, providing both functionality and fashion. This enchanting image offers a window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and simplicity of rural life in 16th century Italy. The meticulous attention to detail in the handcoloring and engraving techniques employed by Robert von Spalart further enhances the authenticity and allure of this historical artwork.
