Maurice the Brave, Elector of Saxony (1521-1553): A Regal Portrait in Historical Costume This handcolored illustration, created by E. Lechevallier-Chevignard and lithographed by A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie, presents Maurice the Brave, Elector of Saxony (1521-1553), in an elegant and regal attire. Maurice is depicted wearing ermine-lined scarlet robes and a hat adorned with the double eagle of Austria, symbolizing his political alliance with the Habsburg Monarchy. The Elector, known for his bravery and military prowess, is shown carrying a sword with the Austrian emblem on its hilt. The intricate details of his costume, including the rich textures and vibrant colors, are reminiscent of the opulence and grandeur of the 16th century. The illustration is taken from Georges Duplessis' "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries), published in Paris in 1867. The detailed and accurate representation of historical costumes in this work was groundbreaking for its time, making it an invaluable resource for scholars, artists, and costume designers. Maurice the Brave's attire is reminiscent of the matron style popular during the 15th century, characterized by voluminous robes, veils, and simar (a type of shawl or mantle). The illustration also showcases the fusion of European and Middle Eastern influences, as seen in the intricate patterns and rich fabrics used in the costume. This image offers a glimpse into the fashion and history of the 16th century, transporting us back in time to an era of grandeur, opulence, and political intrigue.
