EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by August Friedrich Pecht depicts the renowned beauty and influential figure of Agnes Sorel. The print, part of a private collection, showcases Sorel in all her glory as she gazes confidently into the distance. Agnes Sorel was not just an ordinary woman; she played a significant role in French history during the 15th century. As one of King Charles VII's mistresses, she held immense power and influence over him and his court. Her presence was so impactful that she became known as "the first official mistress" in European history. In this engraving, Pecht captures the essence of Sorel's elegance and sophistication. Dressed in exquisite attire befitting her noble status, she exudes confidence and grace. Her portrayal here is reminiscent of a character from Friedrich Schiller's play "Die Jungfrau von Orleans" which adds depth to her depiction. Sorel's story is intertwined with that of Joan of Arc, another prominent figure from this era. Together they symbolize the strength and resilience of women who defied societal norms to shape their own destinies. This print serves as a visual testament to Agnes Sorel's enduring legacy as an icon of femininity, nobility, and power. It transports us back to a time when women like her challenged conventions and left an indelible mark on history.
