Charles V, Christoph Weiditz, Trachtenbuch, TravelAbstract
In the 1520s-1530s Christoph Weiditz, an artist from the Upper Rhine, undertook a journey through the Spain of Emperor Charles V, which resulted in the creation of Trachtenbuch, a book in which he recorded the places he visited. In this volume, Weiditz's many drawings are striking, and he is meticulous in the execution of the types he depicts. The main aim of this text is to approach costume, specifically women's dress, and to analyse the particularities of Spanish costume in early 16th- century Spain. We will also look at the figure of the artist, the reasons that prompted him to undertake the journey and the results he obtained from it: the creation of his book. We will also examine the problems surrounding the volume and offer different readings beyond the simple label of travel book that it has received over the years. In short, we intend to use the Trachtenbuch as a documentary and visual source for the study of women's clothing of the period.
