EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases William of Gellone, also known as Guillaume de Gellone or d'Aquitaine or Le Grand, a prominent figure from the 9th century. Despite his death in that era, he is depicted here wearing a stunning 13th-century costume. The attention to detail is remarkable, with William donning a corselet (bodice), a tunic, and an exquisite cape lined with fur. One cannot help but be drawn to his felt turban tied elegantly in a bow at the front while cascading loosely at the rear. This unique headpiece adds an air of mystery and intrigue to his already regal appearance. The hand-colored copperplate drawing and engraving by Leopold Massard truly bring this historical figure to life. It is part of the renowned collection "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days" published in Paris in 1834 by Massard and Mifliez. Through this image, we are transported back in time, witnessing the grandeur and opulence of medieval fashion. It serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with history and how it continues to inspire artists across centuries. This portrait invites us to delve into the rich tapestry of human history while marveling at both its accuracy and artistic interpretation. A true masterpiece captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection for all enthusiasts of art and history alike.
