EDITORS COMMENTS
Elisabeth of Valois, Daughter of King Henry II of France, Wife of King Philip II of Spain (1545-1568) This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving by Georges Jacques Gatine, after an illustration by Louis Marie Lante from the Galerie Francaise de Femmes Celebres, Paris, 1827, captures the radiant beauty and regal elegance of Elisabeth of Valois, the beloved daughter of King Henry II of France, and the esteemed wife of King Philip II of Spain. Elisabeth is depicted wearing a jeweled cap adorned with pearls and precious stones, a lace ruff collar, and a rich, embroidered surtout. The surtout, a fashionable garment of the time, is adorned with intricate gold and silver thread embroidery, slashed sleeves, and a bodice that cinches at the waist, accentuating her slender figure. A delicate belt cinches her waist, and a magnificent necklace adorns her neck, adding to her regal appearance. Elisabeth's marriage to King Philip II of Spain in 1559 was a strategic alliance between the French and Spanish monarchies, aimed at strengthening the power of the Habsburg dynasty. Despite the political motives behind their union, Elisabeth and Philip shared a deep love and respect for one another, and their marriage produced seven children. This stunning engraving offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the Spanish court during the Renaissance period, and the beauty and grace of Elisabeth of Valois, who remains an enduring symbol of royal elegance and sophistication.
