Catherine de Foix, Queen of Navarre (1468-1517): A Regal Portrait in Stained Glass This exquisite handcoloured lithograph, taken from the portfolio "Costumes Historiques de la France" by Paul Lacroix, presents a captivating image of Catherine de Foix, Queen of Navarre. Born in 1468 in the Principality of Foix, she married King John III of Navarre in 1479, becoming the Queen Consort at the tender age of eleven. The portrait, inspired by a stained-glass window in the chapel at the Chateau of Plessis-Boure, captures the regal elegance and refinement of Catherine de Foix. She is depicted wearing a sumptuous gown adorned with intricate patterns and rich fabrics, symbolizing her noble status. Her headdress, adorned with pearls and precious stones, adds to her regal appearance. Catherine de Foix was known for her intelligence, beauty, and strong character. She played an active role in Navarrese politics and was a patron of the arts and literature. Her reign was marked by peace and prosperity, and she was beloved by her people. This stunning lithograph, created in the mid-19th century by the French publisher Le Bibliophile Jacob, offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the French Renaissance court. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Catherine de Foix, Queen of Navarre, and her significant contribution to French history.
