About the Item
Title: "Chivalric Poise: Aubrey de Vere, Earl of Oxford, as Depicted in 'Costume du Moyen Âge'"
Description: This lithograph from the 1847 volume "Costume du Moyen Âge" showcases Aubrey de Vere, Earl of Oxford, in full chivalric attire. The Earl is depicted in a commanding stance, his left hand gripping a tall, slender shield split with the colors of red and yellow, suggesting his noble family crest. His right hand gestures forward, perhaps giving command or indicating direction, befitting his status as a military leader and nobleman.
He is garbed in a long, yellow surcoat emblazoned with a detailed pattern that may denote his heraldic symbols, worn over a suit of chainmail that covers him from neck to shin, illustrating the dual aspects of nobility and the warrior's readiness. The surcoat is cinched at the waist with a red belt, from which hangs a sword, its hilt just visible, further signifying his knightly rank.
His head is adorned with a coif, and he wears a metal helmet with a decorative band, indicating rank and protection. His facial expression is stern and resolute, with a meticulously groomed beard and mustache, portraying the dignity and gravitas expected of his title.
The background is minimal, placing the full focus on the Earl's imposing figure and the fine details of his attire. This lithograph serves not only as a representation of the individual but also as an illustration of the military and social attire worn by English nobility during the medieval period. It underscores the importance of heraldic symbols in conveying identity and lineage, and it reflects the era's craftsmanship in the art of armor and clothing. This image is a piece of visual history, capturing the essence of the chivalric ideal in medieval England.
The colors have a nice glow over them. Historically, egg whites, known as glair, and sometimes egg yolk were indeed used in illumination and painting, particularly in manuscripts, to give colors a brighter appearance and to add a sheen or gloss to the work. This technique was quite common during the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance.
Egg whites can be applied as a varnish over pigments to enhance their brightness and to protect the colors. This application could make the colors appear more vivid and also add a slight glossy sheen to the surface of the image.
Egg yolk, on the other hand, was commonly used as a binding agent in paint. It forms the basis of tempera paint, a medium that was widely used before the advent of oil painting. Egg yolk helps to create a durable and long-lasting color that adheres well to various surfaces.
In the context of the print from 1847, it's less likely that egg whites or yolks were used directly on the print, as by that time, commercial printing processes would have been more advanced and less reliant on such manual methods. However, if this print is a representation of an earlier style or is meant to mimic the appearance of hand-painted manuscripts, the original artists might have employed techniques or materials that gave a similar effect to those achieved with egg-based binders and varnishes.
