EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the elegance and refinement of a woman from Siena during the 14th century, as depicted in a painting by Francesca Vanni housed in the Academy of Fine Arts in Siena. The woman's attire is a stunning example of the opulence and intricacy of fashion during this period. Atop her head, she wears a majestic violet headdress adorned with a peak and a flowing veil that cascades down her back. The base of the headdress is adorned with delicate floral embellishments, adding an air of femininity to her regal appearance. Her dress is a vibrant green hue, accentuated by intricate embroidery featuring large, detailed flowers. The dress is lined with fur, adding an element of warmth and luxury. The sleeves of her gown are also lined with fur, providing both style and practicality in the chilly climate of the time. This handcolored illustration, drawn and lithographed by Paul Mercuri with text by Camille Bonnard from the 1860 publication "Historical Costumes from the 12th to 15th Centuries," offers a glimpse into the rich and intricate world of fashion during the Middle Ages. The meticulous attention to detail in the illustration allows us to fully appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of the clothing worn during this time, transporting us back to a bygone era.
