Painting Description
"Recueil de Modes du Règne de Louis XIV" is a historically significant collection of fashion plates that provides a visual record of the styles and costumes prevalent during the reign of Louis XIV of France. Compiled by J.D. De St Jean, whose full identity remains somewhat obscure in historical records, this work is an important source for historians and fashion enthusiasts alike, offering insights into the sartorial choices and cultural norms of the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
The collection is notable for its detailed engravings, which depict a variety of garments, accessories, and hairstyles worn by the French nobility and upper classes. The plates serve not only as a reflection of the fashion trends of the time but also as a testament to the luxurious and elaborate nature of courtly dress under the Sun King, whose reign is often associated with opulence and the flourishing of the arts.
"Recueil de Modes du Règne de Louis XIV" is of particular interest to scholars of costume history and the Baroque period, as it provides a contemporaneous account of the evolution of fashion during a time when France was establishing itself as the epicenter of European style. The collection's illustrations are valuable for their attention to detail, capturing the intricate lacework, embroidery, and fabric patterns that characterized the clothing of the era.
Although the work of J.D. De St Jean is not as widely known as that of some other fashion chroniclers, "Recueil de Modes du Règne de Louis XIV" remains a significant contribution to the documentation of historical fashion, offering a window into the aesthetics and social customs of the French court at the zenith of its cultural influence.
