EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Regal Figure of the Renaissance Court: The Woman of Rene I of Naples, 1409-1480 This print depicts a woman of the court of Rene I of Naples, also known as Rene d'Anjou, who ruled the Kingdom of Naples from 1435 to 1458. The image, created as a handcoloured copperplate engraving by Georges Jacques Gatine after an illustration by Louis Marie Lante, is a testament to the grandeur and elegance of the Renaissance era. The woman in the print is dressed in the height of fashion for the time. She wears an impressive tall hennin conical hat, which was a popular headpiece during the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The hat is adorned with intricate decorations and is covered by a veil, adding an air of mystery and sophistication to her appearance. Her dress is a stunning combination of red velvet over a green petticoat, which was a common colour combination during the Renaissance. The red velvet fabric signified wealth and power, while the green petticoat added a touch of freshness and natural beauty to the ensemble. The dress is fitted at the waist and flows gracefully over the hips, accentuating the woman's figure. The print also showcases the intricate details of the woman's robe, which is adorned with intricate patterns and designs, reflecting the artistic and cultural richness of the Renaissance court. The woman's posture and expression exude confidence and grace, making her a true embodiment of the elegance and refinement of the Renaissance era. This print is a beautiful reminder of the grandeur and sophistication of the Renaissance court, and the woman in the image is a testament to the beauty and elegance of the women who graced those halls with their presence. The intricate details of the print, from the woman's hat and veil to her red velvet dress and green petticoat, make it a true masterpiece of Renaissance art.
