EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Valentina Visconti, a remarkable woman who lived during the 14th century. The illustration is taken from the renowned book "World Noted Women" by Mary Cowden Clarke, published in 1858. Created by Pierre Gustave Eugene Staal, also known as Gustave Staal, this engraving beautifully captures Valentina's elegance and grace. Valentina Visconti was born in 1371 and passed away in 1408, leaving behind a legacy that still resonates today. As depicted in the portrait, she exudes an air of sophistication with her folded arms and regal tiara adorning her head. Holding a book delicately in her hands, Valentina symbolizes knowledge and intellectual curiosity. As the wife of Louis de Valois Duke of Orleans, Valentina played an important role within aristocratic circles during her time. Her influence extended beyond mere social standing; she was known for her intelligence and diplomatic skills. The three-quarter length composition allows us to appreciate every detail of Valentina's attire - from the intricate patterns on her dress to the fine jewelry embellishing her fingers. This print serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. Preserved within a private collection, this engraving offers us a glimpse into the life of one of history's notable women. It reminds us that even centuries later, their stories continue to captivate our imagination and inspire admiration for their contributions to society.
