EDITORS COMMENTS
Madeleine de France, Comtesse de Foix: A Regal Portrait of a Princess in Falconry This handcoloured lithograph depicts Madeleine de France, Comtesse de Foix (1443-1495), the eldest daughter of King Charles VII of France. The image, taken from Le Bibliophile Jacob's Costumes Historiques de la France, showcases the princess in a stunning pink robe adorned with long, angel-wing sleeves (manche à l'ange), a fashionable style during the late 15th century. Madeleine's regal presence is accentuated by her elegant posture and the falcon perched gracefully on her gloved left hand. Falconry, an aristocratic pastime, was a popular hobby among the European nobility, and Madeleine's mastery of the art is evident in her confident grip on the bird. A loyal spaniel sits at her feet, adding to the sense of tranquility and harmony in the scene. The intricate details of Madeleine's attire and the lifelike portrayal of the falcon and spaniel are testament to the skill of the contemporary artist who originally drew this image. The lithograph, produced by Le Bibliophile Jacob (Paul Lacroix) in 1852, offers a fascinating glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the French court during the late Middle Ages. Madeleine de France, Comtesse de Foix, was a significant figure in her own right, marrying Gaston de Foix, Comte de Foix, and becoming the mother of two future kings of Navarre. This image not only showcases her beauty and elegance but also her strength and intelligence, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of historical portraits.
