EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the exquisite beauty of Margaret of Austria, a prominent figure in European history. Painted on a delicate wood panel by the Master of the Legend of the Magdalen, this artwork measures 24x15 cm and is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris. Margaret, daughter of Maximilian I and Mary, Duchess of Burgundy, was not only an archduchess but also served as Regent of the Netherlands. Her influential role extended beyond politics as she became a patroness of the arts during her lifetime. This painting perfectly captures her regal demeanor and noble lineage. In this half-length portrait from around 1495, Margaret's pale complexion contrasts beautifully with her richly adorned headdress and necklace. With clasped hands symbolizing grace and poise, she exudes both elegance and strength. As an aunt to Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, Margaret's importance within European royalty cannot be understated. Before marrying Philibert II, Duke of Savoy in 1501 (not depicted here), she left an indelible mark on society through her support for artists and their creations. This remarkable print allows us to appreciate not only Margaret's physical beauty but also her significant contributions to art patronage during the vibrant cultural period that was Renaissance Europe.
