EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisite hand-colored lithograph, Catherine de Vendôme, the elegant and enigmatic wife of Jean d'Estrees, Grand Master of the French Artillery, is depicted in the refined splendor of the Renaissance period. The image is derived from a miniature in Roger de Gaignières's renowned portfolio "Costumes Historiques de la France," published in Paris by the Administration de Librairie in 1852. Catherine de Vendôme, a noblewoman of French descent, is shown wearing an intricately designed gown that embodies the opulence and sophistication of the era. Her dress, adorned with delicate lace and rich fabrics, is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of the time. The voluminous skirt, which is gathered and held in place by an ornate belt, cascades gracefully to the floor, while the fitted bodice accentuates her slender figure. Her long, flowing sleeves are adorned with ruffles and lace, adding to the overall elegance of her attire. Her elaborate headdress, which features a diadem of pearls and precious stones, complements her regal appearance. The intricate design of the headdress, with its delicate veil and cascading curls, is a masterclass in the art of Renaissance hairdressing. Catherine's expressive eyes, framed by thick, dark lashes and accentuated by expertly applied makeup, convey a sense of intelligence and depth. Jean d'Estrees, a prominent military figure, stood by her side as Grand Master of the French Artillery. Together, they embodied the power and prestige of the French monarchy during the Renaissance period. This image serves as a reminder of the beauty, elegance, and sophistication of the era, as well as the enduring allure of the enigmatic Catherine de Vendôme.
