EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Eleanor of Aquitaine, a prominent figure in medieval history. The engraving, created by an anonymous French artist from the 19th century, showcases a detailed profile portrait of this remarkable woman. Eleanor's significance is evident through her royal connections as she was not only the wife of Louis VII of France but also later became Queen consort to Henry II of England. Her influence extended beyond her marital alliances, making her one of the most powerful women in Europe during her time. In this image, Eleanor exudes regality with a crown adorning her head and an elegant necklace gracing her neck. Her piercing gaze suggests intelligence and determination that were characteristic traits attributed to her. The attention to detail in this engraving highlights the artist's skill in capturing both Eleanor's physical beauty and inner strength. Preserved within the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this artwork serves as a testament to Eleanor's enduring legacy. It reminds us of a time when women defied societal norms and left their mark on history. This photograph allows viewers to connect with Eleanor on a personal level while appreciating the artistry behind its creation.
