EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image, Jeanne de Montagu, the beloved wife of Jacques de Bourbon, Baron de Thuri, is depicted in a stunning handcoloured lithograph based on a stained-glass window in the Church of the Celestines at Marcoussis. Dressed in the elegant attire of the late 15th century, Jeanne wears a bourrelet or beret, a distinctive headpiece that was popular among the French aristocracy during this period. The beret is adorned with ermine fur, a symbol of nobility and purity, which adds an air of sophistication to her appearance. Jeanne's surcot, or outer garment, is fashioned from ermine fur as well, creating a striking contrast against the rich blue background of her skirt. The skirt is intricately decorated with her coat of arms, featuring a golden fleur-de-lis on a red background, surrounded by a double-headed eagle holding a scepter and orb. This display of heraldry proudly showcases her noble lineage and family heritage. The meticulous attention to detail in this handcoloured lithograph is truly remarkable. The delicate folds of Jeanne's gown, the intricate patterns on her surcot, and the vibrant colors of her coat of arms all contribute to a captivating and authentic representation of historical French fashion. This beautiful artwork, taken from Roger de Gaignieres' portfolio "Historical Costumes of France," provides a fascinating glimpse into the opulent world of the French aristocracy during the late Middle Ages.
