EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases the remarkable Louise Labe, known as La Belle Cordiere, a French poet who lived from 1526 to 1566. The image is based on a portrait found in Roger de Gaignieres' portfolio VIII 82 from Le Bibliophile Jacob aka Paul Lacroix's Costumes Historique de la France (Historical Costumes of France), published in Paris in 1852. Louise Labe was not only an accomplished poet but also a multi-talented individual. This print beautifully captures her diverse skills and interests. She is depicted as a musician, gracefully playing an instrument that adds melody to her poetic words. Her equestrian prowess is evident as she confidently sits atop a horse, showcasing her love for horsemanship. But it doesn't stop there – Louise Labe was also skilled in archery and fencing, demonstrating her physical strength and agility. These attributes were uncommon for women during this time period, making her even more extraordinary. Additionally, she was renowned for being linguistically gifted, mastering multiple languages with ease. The artist Leopold Massard has skillfully brought Louise Labe to life through his meticulous handcolouring technique. Every detail of her attire and expression exudes elegance and intelligence. This print serves as both a visual delight and historical testament to the incredible talents of Louise Labe – an influential figure whose legacy continues to inspire generations of poets and artists alike.
