Yet,even the enemies of Catholic Spain soon adopted sober black clothing.Indeed,black clothing would prove to be extremely popular in predominantly Protestant countries,such as the Netherlands and England,setting the stage for the rise of black in modern European society.Within sixteenth-century Protestant culture,a clear distinction was drawn between colors that were “honnête” (black,white,gray,brown,and blue) and those that were not honest,sober and discrete (yellow,green,and red).Evidence of this distinction can be seen in the innumerable portraits of Protestant worthies in their sober dark attire.(This was also the beginning of the idea that blue is for boys and pink is for girls.)
In his book Men in Black,John Harvey focused on black as a sign of authority in men’s clothing.Priests and princes wore black,as did judges and executioners.Harvey’s examples range from the Black Prince to Hitler’s SS,and from the nineteenth-century poet and dandy Charles Baudelaire to Marlon Brando in a black leather jacket.The book opens with a dialogue from Quentin Tarantino’s flm,Reservoir Dogs:
mr.pink:Why can’t we pick out our own color?
joe:I tried that once; it don’t work.You get
four guys fghting over who’s gonna be
Mr.Black
But what about women?Is there a history of women in black?And if so,what does black signify for them?There is Catherine de Medici,the Renaissance-era queen of France,widowed in 1559,and thereafter always dressed in black.Sometimes described as the Black Queen,she has often been viewed as “the very incarnation of evil” for her role in the St.Bartholomew’s Day Massacre.Although she used the sartorial signs of her widowhood for her own political ends,this did little or nothing to enhance the prestige or power of other widows.
Black was certainly a fashionable color for many European aristocrats,especially in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.Visitors to the Château of Chantilly outside Paris can still see a portrait of Gabrielle de Rochechouart,dating from about 1547.She wears a pretty black dress with puffy black-and-white sleeves accented with red.She is clearly not a widow,for this is not a mourning dress.At the time,fashionable aristocratic women sometimes wore striking combinations of color and fabric,such as a dress made of black velvet,together with black,white,and brilliant red satin.
More typical of the sixteenth century was the fashion for dressing all in black,except for an accent of white at collar and cuffs.Both men and women wore black clothing,its sober elegance enlivened by dramatic white ruffs that framed the face.Black could also serve to highlight gold.Veronica Spinola Doria,for example,wears stately Spanish black in a portrait (c.1606–1607) by Peter Paul Rubens.
