EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Michelle de Vitry, the widow of Jean Jouvenel des Ursins, who passed away in 1456. Following her husband's demise in 1431, she chose to don a black mourning dress adorned with the wimple and headband typically associated with nuns. The image is based on a painting on wood from the era of King Charles VII. The handcoloured copperplate engraving by Georges Jacques Gatine beautifully captures Michelle de Vitry's somber elegance. Her mournful gaze hints at the profound loss she experienced upon losing her beloved spouse. The artist pays meticulous attention to detail, highlighting every delicate feature and intricacy of her attire. This particular artwork was originally featured as an illustration by Louis Marie Lante in Galerie Francaise de Femmes Celebres, Paris, back in 1827. Its inclusion in this collection speaks volumes about Michelle de Vitry's significance and enduring legacy. As we admire this exquisite print today, let us reflect on the strength and resilience displayed by women throughout history like Michelle de Vitry.
