EDITORS COMMENTS
Anne de Thou, Lady Cheverny: A Regal Portrait of the Wife of Philippe Hurault, Count of Cheverny This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts Anne de Thou, the elegant and refined wife of Philippe Hurault, Count of Cheverny. The portrait, taken from Roger de Gaignières gallery portfolio X 10, published by Le Bibliophile Jacob in 1852, showcases Anne's timeless beauty and fashionable attire of the French court during the late 16th century. Anne de Thou, born in 1555, was the daughter of Jean de Thou, a prominent lawyer and historian, and Catherine de Vivonne, a renowned poetess. Her marriage to Philippe Hurault, Count of Cheverny, was a union of two powerful and influential families. The couple's union was celebrated at the French court, and Anne quickly became known for her grace, intelligence, and impeccable style. The portrait captures Anne's striking features, with her dark hair styled in intricate braids and adorned with pearls and precious stones. Her attire, consisting of a richly embroidered gown, a fur-lined mantle, and a lace-edged veil, reflects the opulence and grandeur of the French court during the Renaissance period. Anne de Thou's legacy extends beyond her beauty and fashionable appearance. She was an accomplished woman in her own right, known for her literary pursuits and patronage of the arts. Her husband, Philippe Hurault, was a prominent figure in the French military and served as the governor of Brittany. Together, they played an essential role in the political and cultural landscape of France during the late 16th century. This beautiful handcoloured lithograph serves as a testament to Anne de Thou's enduring legacy as a symbol of French elegance, beauty, and intelligence during the Renaissance era.
