EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving, we find Louise of Lorraine (1534-1601), the beloved wife and consort of King Henry III of France (1574-1589). The portrait, based on a miniature on vellum in Roger Gaignières portfolio, captures the essence of the queen's grace and elegance. Louise is depicted wearing a small cap headdress, an upright lace collar, a surtout adorned with pearls and precious jewels, fur sleeves, and an intricately embroidered petticoat. In her hand, she holds a delicate lace handkerchief, adding a touch of femininity to the regal image. Louise of Lorraine was the eldest daughter of Duke Francis I of Lorraine and Christine of Denmark. Her marriage to King Henry III of France in 1575 was a strategic alliance aimed at strengthening the French monarchy's position against the House of Habsburg. The union was also a source of joy for the king, who was known for his deep affection for his queen. The queen's attire in this portrait reflects the opulence and grandeur of the French court during the late 16th century. The small cap headdress, or hennin, was a popular headpiece among the French nobility, while the lace collar and surtout were symbols of wealth and status. The fur sleeves and embroidered petticoat added warmth and luxury to the outfit, making it a fitting representation of the queen's regal status. This beautiful engraving, created by Georges Jacques Gatine after an illustration by Louis Marie Lante for the Galerie Francaise de Femmes Celebres, is a testament to the beauty and elegance of Louise of Lorraine. It offers a glimpse into the opulent world of the French court during the late Renaissance period and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of the past.
