EDITORS COMMENTS
Laure de Noves, also known as La Belle Laure, was a woman of extraordinary beauty and charm who lived in the 14th century. She was the wife of Count Hugues de Sade and a muse to the renowned Italian poet, Francesco Petrarch. In this hand-colored copperplate engraving by Georges Jacques Gatine, after an illustration by Louis Marie Lante from the Galerie Francaise de Femmes Celebres, Laure is depicted wearing a fashionable attire of the time. Laure's striking appearance is accentuated by her elegant green dress, adorned with intricate designs of violets, crakows, and poulaines. She wears a fashionable coquille or cale, a type of shell hat that was popular during the late Middle Ages. The hat adds a touch of sophistication to her ensemble and complements her pearl necklace, which further enhances her regal appearance. Laure's attire is completed with a belt that cinches her waist, a purse slung over her arm, and a pair of elegant shoes. Her hair is styled in intricate braids, and her expressive eyes convey a sense of intelligence and allure. Laure de Noves was a woman of great beauty and grace, who captivated the hearts of many, including the great poet Petrarch. Her image has been immortalized in this stunning engraving, which showcases her timeless beauty and the fashion trends of the 14th century.
