1. Title: A Venetian Nobleman of the Compagnie della Calza, 15th Century: A Magnificent Portrait in Costume This handcolored etching, created by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot Jr. in 1875, showcases a nobleman from the Compagnie della Calza, a prestigious Venetian organization, in the splendor of his 15th-century attire. The image is taken from the "Costumes of the Directory" by Rouquette, Paris. The nobleman dons an elegant toque, known as a bicorn or claque bas, which is adorned with intricate gold detailing. He wears a tight redingote, or frock coat, in a rich velvet fabric, with a doublet, or waistcoat, underneath. His striped breeches, or odd stockings, add a touch of visual interest to his ensemble. The nobleman completes his outfit with shiny boots, perfect for parading through the grand halls of Venice. In his hand, he holds a magnifying glass, examining precious stones with great concentration. This accessory adds an air of mystery and sophistication to his appearance, suggesting that he is a man of wealth and knowledge. The etching is a stunning representation of the fashionable attire of the era, which was influenced by the works of artists like Vittore Carpaccio. The intricate details, from the textures of the fabrics to the gold embellishments, are beautifully rendered in this historical illustration. This image is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of Venetian nobility during the 15th century, and serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past. The etching is a masterpiece in its own right, with the handcoloring by Eugene Lacoste and Draner adding an extra layer of depth and richness to the image. Whether you are a history buff, a fashion enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of art, this etching is sure to captivate and inspire you. It is a reminder of the elegance and sophistication of a bygone era, and a testament to the enduring allure of historical costumes.
