EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite portrait captures the enigmatic beauty and allure of Diane de Poitiers (1499-1566), the renowned mistress of King Henri II of France. The image, dated around 1560, showcases Diane in an elegant and regal attire, adorned with intricate jewels and a magnificent headdress adorned with ermine. Born in Normandy, France, Diane de Poitiers rose to prominence in the French court during the reign of King Francis I. Her captivating charm and intelligence soon caught the eye of the king's successor, Henri II, who made her his mistress in 1547. Their passionate and tumultuous relationship lasted until Henri's death in 1559. Diane's influence over Henri II extended beyond the realm of romance. She was a shrewd and powerful figure in the French court, using her wit and charm to manipulate political alliances and shape the course of French history. Her impact on the royal court was so significant that she was often referred to as the "Queen Mother," despite never officially holding the title. This portrait, with its rich purple tones and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the French court during the Renaissance period. The ermine-trimmed headdress and the delicate jewels that adorn Diane's dress and head are a testament to her wealth and status. The enigmatic expression on her face hints at the complex and fascinating personality that lies beneath the surface, making this portrait a captivating and intriguing window into the past.
