EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th century print depicts a French court lady during the reign of King Charles VII, also known as Charles the Victorious (r. 1422-1461). The image transports us back in time to the grandeur and elegance of the French court in the mid-15th century. The lady, dressed in the height of fashion, wears a richly decorated gown adorned with intricate embroidery and lace. Her dress is in the style of the period, featuring a fitted bodice, full skirt, and long, narrow sleeves. The voluminous farthingale, a type of hoop skirt, adds to the fullness of her silhouette. Her headdress, known as a hennin, is a tall, conical hat that was popular among the aristocracy of the time. The French court during the reign of Charles VII was renowned for its opulence and grandeur. The King himself was a military leader who led France to victory against the English during the Hundred Years War. His court was a reflection of his power and wealth, attracting the nobility, artists, and scholars of the time. The ladies of the court were expected to uphold the highest standards of beauty, grace, and etiquette. They spent hours each day attending to their appearance, dressing in the latest fashions, and learning the arts of dance, music, and poetry. This print offers a glimpse into the world of the French court during the 15th century, a time of beauty, elegance, and opulence. The intricate details of the lady's costume, from the embroidery on her gown to the design of her headdress, are a testament to the skill and artistry of the time. The print also serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of France during the Middle Ages.
