EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Louise Labe, a remarkable figure from the 16th century. Entitled "La Belle Cordiere" this woodcut portrait was created in 1555 by Pierre Woeiriot de Bouzey and is now housed at the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. Louise Labe, also known as The Beautiful Rope Maker, was born around 1524 to a rope maker in Lyon. This enchanting image captures her elegance and intelligence as she gazes directly at the viewer. As one of the most celebrated French poets of her time, Louise Labe's literary contributions were groundbreaking for a woman during that era. Her talent as an author and writer earned her recognition as a prominent humanist figure. This portrait not only reveals her beauty but also serves as a testament to her intellectual prowess and determination to challenge societal norms. It is worth noting that there is another engraving similar to this one, denoted by RVI 136328. However, it is this particular rendition that has captivated audiences throughout history with its exquisite detail and timeless appeal. As we admire this photograph today, let us celebrate Louise Labe's legacy as an influential poetess who defied expectations and left an indelible mark on French literature.
