EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate print depicts Peire Cardenal, also known as Pierre Cardinal, the renowned 13th-century troubadour from Occitania in southern France. Born around 1180, Peire Cardenal was a prolific poet and composer, known for his works in the Occitan language, which celebrated love, chivalry, and the natural world. The image, drawn and engraved by Leopold Massard for the publication "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days," published in Paris in 1834, captures Peire Cardenal in the traditional attire of the 14th century. He is shown wearing a fur-lined cap, a lined doublet, and stockings, with cracows (high, laced boots) and poulaines (pointed shoes) completing the ensemble. The intricate details of the clothing, as well as the rich colors used in the handcoloring, provide a vivid representation of the fashion of the time. Peire Cardenal's status as a troubadour, a poet and musician who traveled from court to court, is reflected in the elegant and refined appearance of the print. His contributions to the troubadour tradition, which originated in the 12th century and spread throughout Europe, helped to establish the genre as a significant cultural force in medieval society. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the medieval world and allowing us to appreciate the art and fashion of the time. Peire Cardenal's legacy as a troubadour and poet continues to inspire artists and scholars, making him an enduring figure in the history of literature and culture.
