EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image, we behold the youthful and radiant face of Isabelle of Bavaria, the beloved wife of King Charles VI of France, also known as Charles the Simple. The portrait, captured in a handcoloured copperplate engraving by Georges Jacques Gatine, is based on an illustration by Louis Marie Lante from the Galerie Francaise de Femmes Celebres, published in Paris in 1827. Isabelle, who was born in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, in 1370, was only fourteen years old when she wed King Charles VI in 1385. Her wedding attire, as depicted in this magnificent print, is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the royal court. The tall headdress adorned with a diadem and the resplendent mantle, both embellished with gold, jewels, and ermine, underscore her regal status. The intricate detailing of the neckline, sleeves, and hemline of her surcotte dress is a marvel to behold. The delicate embroidery, the shimmering jewels, and the elegant ermine trim all contribute to the enchanting allure of this young queen. The portrait, with its vibrant colours and meticulous craftsmanship, transports us back in time to the opulent courts of medieval France, offering a glimpse into the life of a queen who would go on to play a significant role in the history of her adopted country. Isabelle's reign as queen consort was marked by her intelligence, grace, and devotion to her husband, who was known to have suffered from bouts of mental instability. She is often credited with helping to stabilize the French monarchy during a time of political turmoil and uncertainty. This image serves as a reminder of her enduring legacy and the beauty and elegance of the medieval royal courts.
