About the Item
Italian Elegance and Armor in 15th Century Costume Prints
This captivating ensemble of three hand-colored prints showcases the visual contrast between feminine grace and martial strength in 15th-century Italy. Taken from the 1845 edition of "Costumes Historiques des XIIIe, XIVe et XVe Siècles," these artworks are both historically accurate and aesthetically refined, offering a window into the fashion and military culture of Renaissance Italy. The figures are drawn from authentic pictorial and sculptural sources, making them an essential acquisition for collectors and enthusiasts of medieval and early modern costume history.
The first print, No. 11 - Jeune Italienne, portrays a young Italian woman in a graceful, full-length dress with flowing lines and intricate detailing. Her gown is a pale green with orange-red accents at the sleeves and neckline, and her hairstyle, partially veiled and delicately arranged, suggests the ideal of Renaissance beauty. The elegance of her stance and the richness of the costume evoke a sense of quiet nobility and youth.
The second plate, No. 12 - Soldats Italiens, features a group of Italian soldiers in ceremonial procession. Clad in polished plate armor and vibrant orange tunics bearing emblems of the lion and crossed keys, the men march under banners in striking coordination. Their helmets and plumed crests reflect both the flair and formality of Renaissance military display. The group composition and heraldic detail make this an especially dynamic and narrative-rich piece.
The third image, No. 13 - Homme D'Armes, shows a man-at-arms and his young page, both outfitted in impressive attire. The soldier wears gleaming silver armor with gilded trim and a cross insignia, standing with one hand on his hip in a commanding pose. Beside him, the youthful page in purple and red holds a large ceremonial sword, a symbolic gesture to lineage, duty, and martial honor.
This triptych combines feminine poise and military valor, offering a complete visual story of courtly and battlefield life in Renaissance Italy.
Condition:
All three prints are in very good condition with clean surfaces, stable paper, and vivid color retention. Margins show only minimal age-related wear and faint spotting at the edges.
Framing tips:
To highlight the contrast and harmony within this set, consider a uniform triptych frame with equal spacing between each print, using a warm-toned mat to draw out the reds and golds. Alternatively, frame each piece individually in matching frames and hang them in a linear or vertical arrangement to emphasize thematic unity. Gold, bronze, or dark wooden frames pair beautifully with the warm tones and historic content of these prints.
