EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled 'Homme en Grand Deuil' (Man in Deep Mourning), is a striking example of 17th-century French fashion as depicted in the 'Recueil des modes de la cour de France' (Collection of Modes from the French Court) by the renowned Bonnart brothers, Nicolas and Jean-Baptiste. Created between 1670 and 1683, this hand-colored engraving on paper showcases the elaborate and somber attire worn during periods of mourning in the Baroque era. The man in the image wears a voluminous, black robe, adorned with intricate lettering and ornate designs. A high-collared shirt, also in black, is visible beneath the robe, as is a wide-brimmed hat with a veil that covers the lower half of his face. The man's wig, also black, is styled in the popular 'peruke' fashion of the time, with long, curled locks cascading down his back. The hat and wig are both trimmed with ostrich feathers, adding an air of opulence to the already extravagant ensemble. This print, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and culture of the French court during the Baroque era. The use of black as a symbol of mourning was a common practice during this time, and the intricate details of the man's attire reflect the importance placed on appearances and the desire to display wealth and status, even in the face of grief. The Bonnart brothers' masterful depiction of this fashion trend serves as an enduring testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the Baroque period.
