1550 Cloak Germans Hose Influence Trunk


EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'Well to Do Germans' and dated circa 1550, offers a fascinating glimpse into the opulent world of the German elite during the reign of Emperor Karl V. The meticulously dressed men and women in this print exude an air of affluence and sophistication, reflecting the cultural and artistic influences of the Spanish court, which held significant power over the German states at the time. The men in the print are depicted wearing hose, a close-fitting garment that covers the legs from the waist down, and a doublet, a fitted jacket with a high, standing collar. Over their doublets, they wear cloaks, often lined with fur, which were essential for keeping warm in the chilly European climate. The men's hats, adorned with feathers and other decorative elements, add a touch of elegance to their attire. The women, on the other hand, are shown wearing intricately designed gowns, often featuring voluminous skirts and fitted bodices. Their headdresses, adorned with pearls, feathers, and other luxurious materials, add a regal touch to their appearance. Many of the women in the print are also carrying large, ornate trunks, which would have contained their valuable possessions, such as clothing, jewelry, and cosmetics. The influence of the Spanish court on German fashion during this period is evident in the rich colors and intricate designs of the clothing depicted in the print. Emperor Karl V, who ruled the Spanish Empire from 1519 to 1556, held significant power over the German states, and his court set the fashion trends for the European elite. The opulence and grandeur depicted in this print reflect the wealth and influence of the German nobility during this period, making it a valuable and intriguing snapshot of European history.
