EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored illustration by E. Lechevallier-Chevardier, lithographed by A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie, depicts Louise de Montmorency (1496-1547), a prominent French noblewoman of the 16th century. Louise is shown wearing an elegant and intricately designed costume typical of the Milanese fashion during the 15th century. Her dress features vertical stripes, with a fitted bodice and a full, voluminous skirt. The dress is adorned with ribbons and is worn over a white underdress. Louise's hair is styled in a ponytail, with a plait hanging down at the back. She wears strings of pearls around her neck and a palasforzesca, a type of headdress popular during the Renaissance, on her head. The altarpiece in the background adds a religious context to the portrait, reflecting the piety and devotion that was common among the nobility of the time. Louise de Montmorency is best known as the mother of Gaspard de Coligny, a prominent French military and political figure during the late 16th century. Her portrait serves as a reminder of the fashion and style of the 15th century, and the role of noblewomen in French society during this period. This illustration is taken from Georges Duplessis's "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries), published in Paris in 1867. It is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of fashion and costume, and provides a glimpse into the opulence and elegance of the past.
