EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite pencil drawing of Francoise de Montmorency, famously known as La belle Fosseuse. Created by the talented artist Francois Quesnel in the late 16th century, this portrait captures the beauty and elegance of a woman from the Renaissance era. Francoise de Montmorency was born in 1562 and was the daughter of Pierre de Montmorency, baron de Fosseux. However, history remembers her not only for her noble lineage but also as the mistress of Henri de Navarre, who would later become Henri IV, king of France. It is interesting to note that there is an incorrect identification written at the bottom of this drawing, adding an intriguing layer to its historical significance. The delicate details captured in this artwork are truly mesmerizing. From her intricate earring to her elaborate collar, every element reflects the fashion and style prevalent during the 16th and 17th centuries. The skillful use of pencil on paper brings depth and texture to this stunning portrayal. Now preserved in Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this piece offers a glimpse into a bygone era. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate viewers today. This photograph serves as a reminder that art has no expiration date; it transcends time and remains eternally enchanting.
