EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Alan IV, Duke of Brittany, who passed away in 1119. The image depicts him adorned in the oriental style that was popular among crusaders during that era. He wears a magnificent turban atop his head, complemented by a long embroidered scarf gracefully draped around his neck. His attire includes a luxurious furlined brocade robe that exudes opulence and elegance. Notably, he completes this striking ensemble with vibrant green shoes. The painting from which this print is derived can be found at Redon Abbey in Brittany and currently resides within the Royal Library. It offers us a glimpse into the fashion choices of influential figures from history and their fascination with eastern aesthetics. Leopold Massard skillfully drew and engraved this handcoloured copperplate for "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days" published in Paris in 1834. His attention to detail brings out the richness of Alan IV's outfit, capturing every intricate pattern on his robe and scarf. This remarkable piece of art provides an intriguing insight into medieval fashion trends influenced by the Crusades while also commemorating the life of Alan IV, Duke of Brittany.
