EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Charles II d'Amboise, Seigneur de Chaumont (1473-1511): Governor of Milan" This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts Charles II d'Amboise, also known as Seigneur de Chaumont, a prominent figure in the late 15th century European political landscape. Born in 1473, Charles began his career as a military commander and later served as the Governor of Milan from 1499 to 1511. The image is an intricately detailed reproduction of a portrait from Roger de Gaignières' portfolio VII 95, which was originally published in Le Bibliophile Jacob's "Costumes Historiques de la France" in 1852. The portrait was meticulously rendered by Leopold Massard, showcasing the elegance and sophistication of the French aristocracy during this period. Charles II d'Amboise is depicted wearing the attire of a high-ranking nobleman. He wears a richly decorated tunic, adorned with intricate patterns and embroidery, reflecting his wealth and status. A fur-trimmed cloak draped over his shoulders adds an extra layer of warmth and grandeur. The meticulously crafted details, from the delicate folds of the fabric to the intricate patterns on the tunic, are a testament to the skill of both the original artist and the lithographer. Charles II d'Amboise's expression is one of quiet confidence, reflecting his leadership abilities and political acumen. His piercing gaze and strong jawline further emphasize his regal bearing. The portrait provides a glimpse into the opulent world of the French nobility during the late Middle Ages, offering a fascinating insight into the fashion, power, and politics of the time. This beautiful handcoloured lithograph is a valuable addition to any collection focused on European history, art, or fashion. It offers a unique perspective on the life and times of a significant historical figure, providing a window into the past that continues to captivate and inspire.
