EDITORS COMMENTS
Anne de Pisseleu, Duchesse d'Étampes: A Portrait of Majestic Allure and Intrigue in the Court of King Francois I Anne de Pisseleu, born in 1508, was a woman of remarkable beauty, intelligence, and ambition who rose to become the favorite mistress of King Francois I of France (1494-1547) in the early 16th century. This evocative portrait captures Anne's captivating presence and the allure that drew the king to her side. Anne's origins were humble, as she was the daughter of a Parisian goldsmith. However, her striking looks and sharp wit soon caught the attention of the powerful and influential, including the king himself. Anne became the Duchesse d'Étampes, a title bestowed upon her by King Francois in 1532, and she served as his mistress and confidante until his death in 1547. This exquisite print, produced in the mid-1500s, showcases Anne's regal bearing and the elegance that defined the French court during the Renaissance. Her intricate headdress, adorned with pearls and precious stones, frames her delicate features and emphasizes her status as a woman of great wealth and influence. The rich fabrics of her gown, draped artfully over her slender figure, add to the overall impression of opulence and sophistication. Anne's relationship with King Francois was not without controversy, as she was married at the time to a nobleman named Jean II de Lorraine. However, Anne's charm and cunning allowed her to navigate the complex political landscape of the French court, and she continued to wield significant power and influence even after the king's death. This portrait of Anne de Pisseleu, Duchesse d'Étampes, offers a glimpse into the world of the French court during the Renaissance, a time of beauty, intrigue, and power struggles. Anne's story is a testament to the enduring allure of the powerful women who have shaped history and left indelible marks on the annals of time.
