EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Francoise d'Amboise, the esteemed Duchess of Brittany during the 15th century. Created by Edward Hargrave, this portrait immortalizes the Blessed Francoise d'Amboise, known for her significant contributions to both royalty and religion. Adorned with a tiara of stars, she exudes regal elegance while donning an armorial robe featuring blazons of Bourbon on one side and her family's crest on the other. Francoise's life was marked by remarkable achievements and devotion. Following the passing of her husband Duke Pierre II of Brittany, she established France's first Carmelite monastery in 1463 before taking holy vows herself. The engraving notes that her birth year may be incorrect as it states 1420. In this image, we witness a woman who defied societal expectations and embraced both power and piety. Her resplendent headdress frames a face radiating grace and wisdom. The intricate details of her dress reflect the fashion trends prevalent during medieval times. Francoise d'Amboise stands as an emblematic figure whose legacy encompasses faith, nobility, and philanthropy. This portrait serves as a testament to her enduring influence within Catholicism while capturing the essence of an extraordinary woman who left an indelible mark on history.
