EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Jacques de Savoie, 2nd Duke of Nemours: A 16th Century Nobleman's Regal Attire" This image showcases Jacques de Savoie, the 2nd Duke of Nemours, an influential figure during the reign of King Henri III of France in the late 16th century. The Duke is depicted in a grand and regal attire, reflecting the opulence and sophistication of the French court. The illustration, created by Dunand and lithographed by Breton, is an exquisite reproduction from the "Costumes Historiques de la France" portfolio by Paul Lacroix. The original portrait was part of the renowned collection of Roger de Gaignieres. Jacques de Savoie is dressed in the height of 16th-century fashion. His richly embroidered doublet, adorned with intricate gold and silver thread, is worn over a white shirt and a linen lining. The collar of his doublet is fastened with a large, ornate brooch, adding an air of elegance and refinement. His hose, or tight-fitting breeches, are held up by a belt with a large buckle, while his feet are covered in high, leather shoes with decorative laces. The Duke's outer garment, a velvet mantle, is draped over his shoulders and fastened with a clasp. The mantle's rich, deep color contrasts beautifully with the lighter tones of his inner clothing. A plumed hat, resting on his lap, completes the ensemble. The meticulous hand-coloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the Duke's regal attire to life. This portrait offers a glimpse into the grandeur and splendor of the French court during the late 16th century.
