EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Agnes of Savoy, Countess of Longueville (1445-1508): A Glimpse into the Fashion and Elegance of the Late 15th Century This handcoloured lithograph, created by Gautiere after an illustration by Alphone Leroy, offers a stunning portrayal of Agnes of Savoy, Countess of Longueville, who lived from 1445 to 1508. The image is taken from Roger de Gaignieres' portfolios, published by Le Bibliophile Jacob under the title "Costumes Historiques de la France" in 1852. Agnes, a member of the House of Savoy, is depicted in her regal attire, which reflects the opulence and elegance of the late 15th century. Her richly decorated gown, featuring intricate patterns and vibrant colors, is a testament to the refined taste and wealth of the noblewomen of the time. The voluminous sleeves, adorned with lace and embroidery, add a sense of grandeur and sophistication to her appearance. The countess's headdress, consisting of a diadem and a veil, further emphasizes her noble status. The diadem, adorned with precious stones and pearls, sits atop her intricately braided and coiffed hair. The veil, draped elegantly over her shoulders, adds a touch of mystery and allure to her appearance. Agnes of Savoy was a significant figure in the political landscape of Europe during the late Middle Ages. She was married to John II, Count of Longueville, and played an active role in the affairs of the Duchy of Burgundy and the Kingdom of France. Her fashion sense, as depicted in this exquisite lithograph, is a reflection of the grandeur and elegance of the late medieval nobility. This beautiful and intricately detailed image, created by Gautiere and Leroy, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of the late 15th-century European nobility and their fashion trends. It is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
