"Sixteenth Century Costumes from 'Omnium Poene Gentium Imagines' 28" is a collection of engravings by the Flemish artist Abraham de Bruyn (1538–1587). De Bruyn, known for his detailed and intricate works, was a prominent figure in the Northern Renaissance, and his contributions to the art of engraving have been recognized for their historical and artistic value. The series 'Omnium Poene Gentium Imagines' (Images of Almost All the Peoples of the World), to which these costumes belong, is a significant work that provides a visual record of the clothing and fashion prevalent among various social classes and cultures during the sixteenth century.

The collection, which was first published in Cologne in 1577, consists of a series of plates depicting men and women from different regions and walks of life, dressed in their traditional attire. These engravings are not only valuable for their aesthetic qualities but also serve as an important historical document, offering insights into the cultural diversity, social structures, and sartorial customs of the time. De Bruyn's attention to detail in the representation of fabrics, patterns, and accessories makes these images a rich source of information for historians of fashion and costume design.

Abraham de Bruyn's engravings are characterized by their fine line work and careful shading, which bring out the textures and folds of the garments. The 'Omnium Poene Gentium Imagines' series is particularly noted for its accuracy and the artist's effort to portray the subjects with dignity and respect, regardless of their social standing. This approach reflects the humanist tendencies of the period, emphasizing the worth and individuality of people from all walks of life.

The "Sixteenth Century Costumes" engravings are a testament to the interconnectedness of the European continent and its neighboring regions during the Renaissance, as they depict not only Western European fashions but also the attire of people from the Near East, Africa, and Asia.
