EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Margaret of York, the Duchess of Burgundy, in all her regal glory. Painted by an anonymous artist from the Netherlandish School during the 15th century, this oil on panel masterpiece measures 20.5x12.4 cm and is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. Margaret of York was a formidable figure in European history, known for her strategic alliances and diplomatic prowess. As the third wife of Charles le Temeraire and sister to Edward IV of England, she played a crucial role as a mediator between these powerful nations. In this portrait, Margaret exudes confidence and strength with her pointed hat adorning her head and a bold necklace accentuating her noble status. Her English-French alliance is symbolized through her elegant attire that combines elements from both cultures. As a Yorkist matriarch, Margaret held immense influence over political affairs during turbulent times. Born into nobility as the daughter of Richard III Duke of York and Cecily Neville Earl of Westmorland's daughter Ralph Neville, she married Charles Duke of Burgundy in 1468. This remarkable artwork not only captures Margaret's physical beauty but also serves as a testament to her significant contributions to European politics. It stands as a reminder of the indomitable spirit possessed by women who shaped history through their intelligence and diplomacy.
