Agnes Sorel, Dame de Beauté: The Enchanting Mistress of King Charles VII of France This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving captures the captivating image of Agnes Sorel, the beloved mistress of King Charles VII of France. Born in 1409, Agnes rose to prominence in the royal court with her exceptional beauty and charm. She is depicted here wearing an elegant tall brocade bonnet adorned with a long veil, a velvet dress trimmed with fur, and a magnificent necklace. The intricate details of her attire reflect the opulence and grandeur of the French court during the late Middle Ages. Agnes Sorel was not only renowned for her stunning appearance but also for her intelligence, wit, and grace. She was a woman of honor and dignity, who held a significant influence over King Charles VII. Her presence at the royal court was a source of inspiration for many artists, poets, and writers of the time. This engraving is a masterpiece by Georges Jacques Gatine, created after an illustration by Louis Marie Lante for the Galerie Francaise de Femmes Celebres, published in Paris in 1827. The meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant colors bring Agnes Sorel's image to life, transporting us back to the opulent world of the French court in the 15th century.
