About the Item
Renaissance Portraits of the Lord of Rimini, Alexander Vitelleschi, and a Young Duchess
This remarkable trio of hand-colored lithographs offers a compelling visual narrative of Renaissance nobility and ecclesiastical influence. Each figure—rendered with care and vibrant detailing—embodies a unique facet of Italian society during the height of its political complexity and cultural flourishing. Together, they present an exceptional study in attire, status, and identity from the 15th century.
Plate No.75 portrays the *Seigneur de Rimini*, or Lord of Rimini, likely referencing a member of the powerful Malatesta family. Dressed in ceremonial armor, the figure stands proudly, exuding the martial authority and dynastic pride typical of Renaissance condottieri. His armor, accented with heraldic detailing and decorative flourishes, reveals a fusion of function and opulence. This nobleman would have played a dual role as military commander and regional ruler, symbolizing the interdependence of warfare and governance in Italian city-states.
Plate No.76 features *Alexandre Vitelleschi*, a figure of religious or political significance. The Vitelleschi were a noble family from the Papal States, and Alessandro Vitelleschi may be associated with the Church. He is dressed in long ecclesiastical robes, suggesting clerical rank, possibly even a bishop or cardinal. The flowing lines of his garments and his solemn bearing create an image of quiet authority and spiritual weight. His presence contrasts with the military assertiveness of the Lord of Rimini, grounding the set in the multifaceted nature of Renaissance power: temporal and divine.
Plate No.77 depicts a *Jeune Duchesse* (Young Duchess), a radiant embodiment of noble grace and wealth. Her costume is richly layered, with bright, jewel-toned fabric draped with elegance, and golden trim that suggests high rank and courtly fashion. Her posture is modest yet expressive, with a soft gaze and gesture that speak to her role in courtly life, dynastic alliances, and ceremonial appearance. The attention to fabric, hair styling, and accessories reflects the high expectations of appearance for women of her status.
Together, these three prints represent the triumvirate of power in Renaissance Italy: the warrior-ruler, the church authority, and the noblewoman. Each plate stands alone as a striking portrait, yet gains further historical depth and visual resonance when viewed as a group.
Condition:
Very good condition. Light age-toning around the margins, but colors are strong and stable. No tears or significant staining. Plate marks are intact, and paper remains structurally sound.
**Framing Tips:**
Frame this set in a linear horizontal or vertical arrangement for strong visual continuity. Use a soft ivory mat with equal spacing around each figure to maintain balance. A simple gilded or dark walnut frame adds period-appropriate elegance. Floating the plates with the plate numbers exposed enhances their historical authenticity. UV-protective glass is recommended to preserve the hand coloring and paper quality over time.
