EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisite handcoloured lithograph, we behold the captivating visage of Jeanne de Bar, the only daughter of Robert de Bar (1415-1462). Born into the noble House of Bar, Jeanne's lineage was deeply rooted in the political landscape of the late Middle Ages. Her father, a prominent figure in the Duchy of Lorraine, played a significant role in the Council of Basel and the Council of Constance. At the heart of this evocative image, Jeanne is depicted in the regal attire of the time, reflecting her noble status. Her elegant headdress, adorned with pearls and intricate goldwork, frames her face, drawing the viewer's gaze to her expressive eyes. The delicate folds of her gown, embroidered with floral motifs, cascade gracefully over her slender form. Jeanne's life took an unexpected turn when she became the wife of Louis de Luxembourg (1415-1462). The marriage united two powerful European families, the Houses of Bar and Luxembourg, and strengthened their political alliances. This union further solidified Jeanne's position as a figure of influence in the European court. The lithograph is an enchanting reproduction of an old portrait from "Costumes Historiques de la France," a seminal work by Paul Lacroix and Le Bibliophile Jacob. The meticulous handcolouring adds an enchanting layer of depth and authenticity to the image, transporting us back to the opulent courts of the late Middle Ages. Jeanne de Bar's story is a testament to the complex web of alliances and political manoeuvres that shaped the European landscape during this period. Her image, captured in this beautiful lithograph, serves as a poignant reminder of the intrigue, beauty, and power that defined the lives of the noblewomen of the Middle Ages.
