EDITORS COMMENTS
Anne de France, Dame de Beaujeu: A Regal Portrait from the Renaissance Era This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts Anne de France, Dame de Beaujeu (1461-1522), the wife of Peter II of Bourbon and Regent of France during the minority of King Louis XII. Anne was the eldest daughter of King Louis XI of France and her striking beauty and intelligence made her a powerful figure in the French court. The image is taken from a manuscript for Anne de Bretagne, created by the renowned French publisher Paul Lacroix under the imprint Le Bibliophile Jacob. The meticulously detailed lithograph showcases Anne's elegant attire, consisting of a high-necked gown adorned with intricate lace and fur trim, a mantle draped over her shoulders, and a headdress adorned with pearls and feathers. Her regal bearing and piercing gaze convey a sense of authority and confidence. Anne's marriage to Peter II of Bourbon in 1473 was a strategic alliance between the French and Bourbon houses. When Louis XII ascended to the throne in 1498, Anne became Regent of France during his absence in Italy. She ruled with wisdom and diplomacy, maintaining peace and stability in the kingdom. Her reign was marked by her patronage of the arts and her support for the education of her children. This image of Anne de France, Dame de Beaujeu, is a testament to her status as a powerful and influential woman in Renaissance France. The intricate details of her attire and the rich colors of the lithograph transport us back to a time of opulence and grandeur, offering a glimpse into the world of the French court during the late 15th century.
