About the Item
Military and Judicial Costumes from Medieval Italian Society
This striking set of three hand-colored costume prints provides a vivid window into the structured and ceremonial dress of medieval Italy, focusing on the spheres of military presence and civil authority. Each figure or group is presented with clarity and character, allowing modern viewers to engage with the social roles and visual culture of the time.
The first plate (No.46) represents a military figure, titled “Costume Militaire.” Standing in full stance, this soldier wears a belted tunic over red tights and leather boots, complemented by a red cloak draped over one shoulder and a sword hanging from each hip. The simple but purposeful design of his attire and weapons evokes the disciplined and symbolic nature of medieval military rank, ideal for collectors of martial history or historical costume.
Plate No.47 portrays two magistrates seated on a wooden bench, clad in flowing robes of pale green and lavender, with hoods draped over their heads. Their body language suggests discussion or deliberation, making this an intimate portrayal of civic duty. The soft folds of their garments and the restrained color palette underscore a refined, composed authority associated with the legal profession in 14th-century Italy.
Plate No.48 continues the judicial theme, showing another pair of seated magistrates engaged in dialogue. One figure wears a bold red robe, while the other dons pastel green with a rose-colored accent. Their bench is more elaborate than in the previous image, complete with a decorative end and a small inset medallion depicting a third individual — possibly a bishop or religious official — indicating a link between legal and ecclesiastical power. This print offers visual insight into the layered roles of authority in medieval civic life.
Together, these three prints form a cohesive narrative exploring the juxtaposition of military strength and judicial governance. The style and form of each figure are rendered with care, accuracy, and elegance.
Condition:
The prints are in good condition, with light foxing primarily in the margins. Colors remain rich and the lines are crisp. No major tears or folds are present.
Framing Tips:
Frame these prints side by side in a single horizontal row using a soft ivory mat with generous spacing to maintain separation. A walnut or chestnut wood frame would bring out the earthy tones of the garments. Consider museum glass to reduce glare and preserve the vibrant hand-coloring.
