EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts Euriant, the enchanting mistress of Gerard de Nevers, as described in the medieval poem "La Roman de la Violette" by Gerbert de Montreuil. Euriant, a woman of Savoy, is shown wearing an elegant high hennin hat, adorned with a veil that cascades down her back. Her crimson robe, trimmed with ermine, adds a regal touch to her attire. The intricate details of her dress, from the delicate folds to the intricate patterns, are a testament to the skillful artistry of the engraver, Georges Jacques Gatine, and the illustrator, Louis Marie Lante. The image was originally published in the prestigious "Galerie Francaise de Femmes Celebres" in Paris in 1827. The captivating beauty of Euriant and her romantic connection with Gerard de Nevers, the Count of Nevers, is a fascinating glimpse into the rich history and culture of medieval Europe.
