EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisitely hand-colored lithograph, we behold the noble visage of Pierre de la Guiche, a distinguished figure from the Duchy of Burgundy during the Renaissance period. Born into a noble family, de la Guiche rose to prominence as a knight, advisor, and chamberlain in the court of King Henry II of France. His influence extended beyond the royal court, as he also served as an ambassador representing the interests of Burgundy. The image captures the elegance and refinement of the era, with de la Guiche donning an ornate doublet adorned with intricate gold embroidery and a sumptuous velvet cloak. The richness of his attire reflects his high social standing and the opulence of the Burgundian court. His piercing gaze and serious expression convey a sense of wisdom and authority, further emphasizing his importance as a counselor and diplomat. This portrait was originally featured in Roger de Gaignières' portfolio "Costumes Historiques de la France," published by the Administration de Librairie in Paris in 1852. The meticulous hand-coloring brings the lithograph to life, adding depth and vibrancy to the intricate details of de la Guiche's clothing and the textured background. This image offers a glimpse into the grandeur and sophistication of the Burgundian court during the Renaissance and the notable role played by its esteemed noblemen, such as Pierre de la Guiche.
