EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a clandestine transaction between two powerful women of history. The scene depicts Jeanne d Albret, the formidable Queen of Navarre, engaging in a secret exchange with Catherine de Medicis' trusted perfumer. The year is 1852-1858, and the setting is France during an era where cosmetics played a significant role in society. Jeanne d Albret, known for her intelligence and shrewdness, seeks out Catherine's perfumer to purchase poisoned gloves discreetly. These gloves were not intended for personal use but rather as a covert means to eliminate her enemies. The artist behind this masterpiece is Maitre Rene Bianchi, who skillfully captures the tension and secrecy surrounding this historical event. Through his meticulous brushstrokes on canvas using oil paints, he brings these characters to life with vivid colors and intricate details. This painting serves as a reminder of the complex political landscape that existed during that period – where alliances were forged through both diplomacy and deception. It also sheds light on the importance placed on appearance and hygiene in society at large. Preserved within a private collection today, this artwork by Maitre Rene Bianchi continues to fascinate viewers with its historical significance and artistic brilliance.
