This stunning handcolored copperplate print depicts Philip Hurepel, Count of Boulogne and Clermont (1201-1235), a significant figure in medieval European history. The intricately detailed engraving by Leopold Massard, from the collection "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days," transports us back to the 13th century. Philip Hurepel is shown wearing a suit of armor adorned with gold and fleur-de-lys, the symbol of the French monarchy. The armor includes a helm with a visor, a chainmail hauberk, and a tunic, all intricately designed and meticulously rendered in the print. Philip's right hand rests on the hilt of his sword, while his left foot is planted on a stirrup, ready to mount his horse. An escutcheon bearing the Count's coat of arms is displayed prominently on his chest. Philip Hurepel was the illegitimate son of King Philip II of France and Agnes of Beaujeu. He was granted the counties of Boulogne and Clermont as part of his father's will. Philip played an important role in the political landscape of the 13th century, serving as a vassal of the French king and participating in various military campaigns. His military prowess and strategic alliances made him a formidable figure in European politics. This beautiful and historically accurate print offers a glimpse into the fashion and culture of the medieval period, providing us with a valuable insight into the lives of the nobility during this time. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the print bring Philip Hurepel and his world to life, making it a must-have for any history or art enthusiast.
