EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 14th century print depicts a noblewoman of Siena, Italy, adorned in the opulence and grandeur of her era. Drawn and lithographed by Paul Mercuri with text by Camille Bonnard for the publication "Historical Costumes from the 12th to 15th Centuries," published by Levy Fils in Paris in 1861, this image offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of the medieval period. The noblewoman's luxurious crown, crafted of gold, sits atop her intricately braided and coiffed hair. A silver necklace, adorned with precious stones, drapes gracefully around her neck, drawing the eye to her elegant collarbone. Her violet dress, fringed with delicate fabric, flows around her figure, adding a sense of movement and fluidity to the image. The painting from which this print was derived is attributed to Domenico Bartoli, a Sienese painter active during the 14th century. The noblewoman's regal bearing and refined appearance speak to her high social status, as well as the wealth and prosperity of the Sienese Republic during this time. This print serves as a reminder of the intricate details and beauty of historical costumes, as well as the rich history and cultural significance of the medieval period. The meticulous attention to detail in both the illustration and text make this a valuable resource for those interested in the history of fashion and the art of the past.
