EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Matron costume (midwife) from Siena, Italy in the 14th century. The woman depicted is always dressed in green, a color that symbolizes fertility and new life. Her attire includes a stunning violet peaked headdress with a hanging veil, adding an air of mystery to her appearance. The midwife's green dress is adorned with beautifully embroidered flowers, reflecting the vibrant nature surrounding childbirth. The large fur-lined sleeves add elegance and warmth to her ensemble. This exquisite depiction was inspired by a painting created by Francesco Vanni, which can be found at the Academy of Fine Arts in Siena. Handcolored by Paul Mercuri and accompanied by text written by Camille Bonnard for "Historical Costumes from the 12th to 15th Centuries" this illustration offers us a glimpse into the fashion of medieval times. It transports us back to an era where midwives played an essential role in bringing new life into the world. Through this image, we are reminded of the rich history and traditions associated with childbirth practices in Siena during the 14th century. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of maternity care during that time period. Captured with precision and attention to detail, this print allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the cultural significance behind this Matron costume from ancient Italy.
