EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Diane of Poitiers, the mistress of King Henry II of France from 1499 to 1566. Her regal attire is a testament to her status and influence during this period. The chaperon headress she wears ties delicately under her chin, framing her face with elegance and grace. Diane's ensemble features a stunning pink velvet gown adorned with puffed and slashed sleeves trimmed with luxurious ermine fur. The intricate details highlight the opulence associated with royalty in the Renaissance era. A knotted belt cinches her waist, accentuating her slender figure. What truly sets this portrait apart is the open skirt that reveals a shimmering gold embroidered petticoat underneath. This unexpected touch adds an element of surprise and allure to Diane's already enchanting appearance. The artist has captured every nuance beautifully in this handcoloured copperplate engraving. Georges Jacques Gatine expertly brings out the richness of colors, making each detail come alive on paper. Originally created as a miniature on vellum, this illustration now finds its place in the editor's collection as part of Galerie Francaise de Femmes Celebres in Paris since 1827. This remarkable image allows us to glimpse into history and appreciate not only Diane's beauty but also her significant role as one of France's most influential women during that time.
