Agnes Sorel, Lady Fromenteau (1409-1450): A Tragic Tale of Love, Power, and Deception This exquisite handcoloured lithograph captures the enigmatic beauty of Agnes Sorel, Lady Fromenteau, a woman who rose from humble beginnings to become the mistress of King Charles VII of France. Born in 1409, Agnes was the daughter of a bourgeois family from Tours, but her exceptional charm and intelligence soon caught the eye of the powerful monarch. Their romantic liaison began in 1441 and continued until Agnes' untimely death in 1450. The image of Agnes Sorel depicted in this print is based on a portrait from a manuscript in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris. Her elegant attire, adorned with intricate embroidery and rich fabrics, reflects the opulence and grandeur of the royal court. The delicate shading and attention to detail in the lithograph by Leopold Massard bring the portrait to life, transporting us back to the medieval world of kings and courtiers. However, the story of Agnes Sorel is not just one of love and beauty. In 1450, she was accused of sorcery and poisoning on the orders of the Dauphin, later King Louis XI. Despite her protestations of innocence, Agnes was arrested and put on trial. The evidence against her was circumstantial, and many believe that her downfall was due to political machinations and jealousy. Regardless, her fate was sealed, and she was burned at the stake on May 30, 1450. This haunting image of Agnes Sorel serves as a reminder of the complex web of power, love, and intrigue that surrounded the medieval French court. Her tragic story continues to captivate historians and artists alike, and her legacy lives on as a symbol of the human capacity for both beauty and destruction.
