EDITORS COMMENTS
Ninon de Lenclos: The Eloquent and Enigmatic French Courtesan and Author This image depicts Ninon de Lenclos (1615-1705), a renowned French author, courtesan, and salon hostess, who was celebrated for her wit, charm, and intellectual prowess during the 17th century. The portrait showcases Ninon's alluring appearance, with her loose ringlets cascading down her shoulders, and her striking green velvet mantua dress. The dress features a low-cut bodice and a full skirt, adorned with elegant bows and ribbons. Beneath the dress, a vibrant scarlet petticoat with golden ines adds a pop of color to the ensemble. Ninon was known for her intellect and her ability to captivate the most distinguished men of her time, including King Louis XIV. She hosted a famous literary and artistic salon, where she entertained and engaged in intellectual debates with the likes of Molière, Racine, and La Fontaine. Her literary contributions include numerous letters, essays, and poems, which were published posthumously. This handcolored copperplate engraving, created by Georges Jacques Gatine after an illustration by Louis Marie Lante, is a beautiful representation of Ninon's allure and sophistication. The intricate details of her dress and the delicate shading of her features make this image a true work of art, transporting us back to the opulent and intriguing world of 17th-century French society.
