About the Item

Renaissance Youth in Green Cloak and Pink Tunic, circa 15th Century Plate No. 91 from the influential 1845 publication Costumes Historiques des XIIIe, XIVe et XVe Siècles captures a youthful male figure in the refined civilian dress of 15th-century Italy. Rendered with grace and simplicity, this costume print offers a clear, expressive depiction of middle- or upper-class fashion in the early Renaissance, highlighting the use of vibrant color, precise tailoring, and flowing lines. The subject wears a short, rose-colored tunic that falls to the knee, complemented by grey hose and soft slippers. Draped across his shoulders is a green mantle, fastened with a simple knot at the chest and cascading to mid-thigh in fluid folds. The cloak’s naturalistic drape and the subtle shading of the fabric demonstrate the artist’s skill in conveying textile weight and movement. Topping the outfit is a blue-grey cap with a decorative golden band—an understated yet fashionable headpiece that suggests both youth and modest affluence. The figure’s pose, with one arm extended and his head turned slightly to the left, conveys a casual elegance and social ease, characteristic of the Renaissance ideal of poised humanism. His open expression and light step suggest he may be engaged in conversation or participating in a ceremonial occasion. The use of complementary hues—cool green and warm pink—makes the figure visually appealing, while the simplicity of the setting keeps the focus firmly on the garment. This plate is ideal for collectors of early Renaissance costume, educators in art history, or decorators seeking a youthful and colorful historical print. It pairs well with other costume portraits from the same volume and offers a lively contrast to more heavily armored or ecclesiastical figures in the series. Condition The print is in good condition, with a clean and well-preserved image area. Some minor age spotting is visible in the wide margins, but it does not detract from the overall presentation. Colors remain bright and well-defined. Framing tips Frame this print with a pale cream or soft pastel mat to complement the delicate color palette. A simple wooden frame, either natural or gold-toned, will suit the youthful tone of the image. This piece works well in intimate spaces like dressing rooms, studies, or gallery groupings with other Renaissance figures.
