EDITORS COMMENTS
Laura de Noves, also known as Donna Laura, was a woman of enchanting beauty and tragic fate, immortalized in the sonnets of the great Italian poet Francesco Petrarch. Born in 1310, Laura lived in Avignon, Provence, during the 14th century. Her story began when she captured the heart of King Gunther XXI of Schwarzburg, a German monarch, who was visiting Avignon. However, their love was doomed due to the objections of the king's family and societal norms. This image of Laura is a chromolithograph from Hefner-Alteneck's "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," published in Frankfurt in 1889. The illustration is based on a church wall fresco now housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, created the lithograph. In the image, Laura is depicted wearing a splinted armor, a great helm, a tunic, and a coat adorned with her arms and escutcheon. Her grave effigy, which can be seen in the Frankfurter Dom (Cathedral), is also represented. Laura is shown carrying a sword and wearing chainmail, reflecting the fashion of the time. The heraldry on her arms and escutcheon further emphasize her noble status. Laura's tragic story has been a source of inspiration for artists and writers throughout history, including Petrarch, who wrote sonnets dedicated to her memory. Her image continues to fascinate us today, as a symbol of love, beauty, and the passage of time.
