EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the regal beauty of Charlotte of Savoy, queen consort of Louis XI of France in the 15th century. Created by artist A Bisson in 1849, this exquisite engraving is a 19th-century rendition based on an original painting held at the Chateau de Bourbon-l'Archambault and discovered in the collection of M Quedeville in Paris. In this full-length portrait, Charlotte is depicted kneeling in prayer, her profile highlighted with grace and elegance. Her headdress and wimple add to her majestic appearance, reflecting both her religious devotion and royal status. The attention to detail captures every intricate aspect of her dress and headgear. Charlotte's significance as a queen consort during this period cannot be understated. She played an influential role within French society as she navigated the complexities of politics, religion, and monarchy. This print serves as a testament to her power and influence during that time. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to the image while evoking a sense of nostalgia for both the fifteenth century it represents and its nineteenth-century creation date. As part of Le Moyen Age et la Renaissance by Paul Lacroix, Ferdinand Sere, and A Rivaud (volume V), this artwork offers viewers a glimpse into history through artistry. With its historical value preserved by The Print Collector archive, this print allows us to appreciate Charlotte's legacy as a sovereign figure from Savoy who left an indelible mark on French history.
