EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate print, drawn and engraved by Leopold Massard, captures the essence of a 14th-century village nuptial scene. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to witness an intimate moment in the lives of the villagers. At the heart of the scene, a young bride stands before her father, her face radiant with joy and anticipation. She wears a stunning gown adorned with intricate embroidery and a delicate girdle, her hair styled in elaborate braids. Her father, dressed in a simple tunic and hose, gazes proudly upon his daughter, his hand resting protectively on her shoulder. The groom, attired in a long tunic and cape, approaches the couple, a crown in hand, ready to place it upon the bride's head in a symbolic gesture of his commitment and love. The joyous occasion is marked by the sound of music, with rebecs and oboes playing lively tunes to celebrate the union. The print, taken from the 1834 publication "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days" by Massard and Mifliez, provides a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and customs of the medieval period. The intricate details of the clothing, the expressions on the faces of the villagers, and the lively music all combine to create a vivid and captivating image of a village nuptial in the 14th century.
