About the Item
Noble Grace and Martial Power: Italian Aristocrats and a French Knight
Description:
This exquisite set of three hand-colored costume prints from 1845 brings together the elegance of noble Italian dress with the bold grandeur of French chivalric tradition. Each figure is captured with a precise line and meticulous attention to textile detail, drawn from authentic period monuments and illustrations. The trio reflects both the dignified poise of aristocracy and the heroic symbolism of knighthood, making this compilation particularly compelling for collectors of European costume history and iconography.
Plate No.40, titled "Noble Italien", shows an Italian nobleman viewed from behind, emphasizing the flowing design and exquisite patterning of his cloak and robes. His broad-brimmed hat, red sleeve, and ornate textiles evoke quiet authority and the subtle visual codes of Renaissance refinement. His pose suggests serene confidence and a measured distance from the viewer, inviting closer study of the luxurious detail.
Plate No.41, "Noble Italienne", portrays a seated noblewoman gracefully playing a harp. Her coral-pink gown with golden floral accents, layered over a yellow underdress, flows naturally into her posture. The image captures both femininity and cultural refinement, with the musical motif suggesting a courtly life of leisure and accomplishment. Her gentle expression and focused engagement with the instrument reflect ideals of harmony and education prevalent among elite women of the time.
Plate No.42, "Chevalier Français", shifts the tone to martial grandeur. A French knight in full armor charges forward on horseback, his sword raised and shield brandished. His steed, covered in a flowing blue caparison, adds movement and power to the composition. The knight’s tabard is decorated with fleur-de-lis, asserting national pride and noble identity. This dramatic scene contrasts dynamically with the composed elegance of the previous two figures.
This grouping balances stillness and motion, civic fashion and chivalric pageantry. It offers collectors and decorators a window into the varied roles and appearances of nobility in the medieval and early Renaissance periods.
Condition:
These prints are in very good condition with vivid hand coloring and sharp impressions. Some light age spotting in margins, not affecting the figures. Paper is stable and clean.
Framing Tips:
Frame the set as a horizontal triptych, spacing them evenly with white or ivory mats to enhance their clarity and visual separation. Choose simple black, gold, or walnut frames to complement the historical elegance. Ideal for music rooms, studies, libraries, or any interior that appreciates cultural history with aristocratic charm. Use archival materials and UV-protective glass to preserve the fine coloring.
