EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite portrait of Anne de Pisseleu, Duchesse d'Etampes, created by Corneille de Lyon in the mid-16th century. Measuring 17.8x14.3 cm, this oil on wood masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Anne de Pisseleu was renowned for her brilliance and beauty, capturing the heart of Francis I as his mistress during their time together. Introduced to the king at court when she was just seventeen years old in 1526, she became a prominent figure within French society. However, after Francis I's death in 1547, Anne fell from grace and was dismissed from court. Sadly, she passed away in obscurity despite her once elevated status. In this portrait, we see Anne depicted with elegance and poise befitting her noble lineage. Adorned with sumptuous jewelry including a pearl necklace and gold accessories that symbolize wealth and opulence prevalent among aristocrats during the Renaissance era. The intricate details captured by Corneille de Lyon bring forth not only Anne's physical beauty but also an insight into the grandeur of French aristocracy during that period. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry preserved through time, it serves as a reminder of both Anne's fleeting rise to prominence and her ultimate descent into anonymity—a testament to the transient nature of power and fame throughout history.
