Anne d'Alençon, Lady of La Guerche, Marquise de Montserrat (1492-1562): A Regal Portrait of Nobility and Elegance This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts Anne d'Alençon, Lady of La Guerche, Marquise de Montserrat, a prominent figure in the French nobility during the Renaissance period. The portrait, taken from Roger de Gaignières' "Costumes Historiques de la France," published by Le Bibliophile Jacob in Paris in 1852, showcases Anne's regal presence and timeless beauty. Anne d'Alençon was born in 1492, the daughter of Georges d'Alençon, Duke of Alençon, and Charlotte de Savoy. She married Jean de Montserrat, Marquis de Laval, in 1514, and the title Marquise de Montserrat was bestowed upon her. The portrait captures Anne in her prime, adorned in the rich fabrics and intricate details that were characteristic of the French aristocracy during the Renaissance. The lithograph reveals Anne's elegant attire, featuring a voluminous gown of deep blue velvet, trimmed with ermine fur and gold braid. Her headdress, a complex arrangement of pearls, jewels, and feathers, adds to her regal appearance. The delicate handcolouring brings the portrait to life, highlighting the intricacies of Anne's costume and the subtle details of her expressive face. Anne d'Alençon's portrait is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the French nobility during the Renaissance. The portrait not only captures the physical beauty of its subject but also conveys the power, wealth, and status that came with being a member of the French aristocracy. This image continues to fascinate and inspire, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of the past.
