Description taken from here:*

“Master of Philippe de Gueldre, "Antoine Vérard presents his book to François d'Angouleme, in the presence of Louise de Savoie and Marguerite d'Angoulême, in Octavien de Saint-Gelais, Le Séjour d'honneur, Paris, Antoine Vérart

BnF, Rare Book Reserve, Venom 2239, fol. 1st

In 1506, after his engagement to Claude de France, daughter of Louis XII, François d’Angouleme is summoned to court as heir to the throne. It is no doubt on this occasion that the Parisian bookwire Antoine Vérard is preparing for him a personalized copy of his edition of the Séjour d'Honneur, allegory describing the court of Charles VIII. In the light of dedication, the young prince receives the volume of Vérard's hands, under the gaze of his mother, Louise de Savoie, and a young girl who is undoubtedly his sister, Marguerite.”

Here the cover I did for the 2021 calendar of the town hall of Angoulême. Who's that lady, standing in front of the "Hotel de Ville"? ✨👸🏻✨⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ But of course the one and only star of this city, Marguerite de Valois-Angoulême, princess of France, Queen of Navarre, and Duchess of Alençon and Berry! 🙃⁠⠀ However, she also was an influent poetess of her times, as she wrote many poems and plays. Her most notable works are a classic collection of short stories, the Heptameron, and a remarkably intense religious poem, Miroir de l'âme pécheresse (Mirror of the Sinful Soul).⁠⠀ As an author and a patron of humanists and reformers, she was an outstanding figure of the French Renaissance; Samuel Putnam called her "The First Modern Woman". 🔥⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ So, it was an incredible honor to draw this lady, a symbol for this city. A city which gave me so much in terms of possibilities, growth and encounters in those last years...⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The idea of ​​this calendar was to celebrate seven emblematic monuments of Angoulême and seven women linked to the territory who have distinguished themselves over time: for this task the @mairieangouleme called seven talented illustrator as @giorgiacasetti, Lise Topin, @sandrinemartin_illustration, @morganeparisi, Caroline Sury and @michaelis_fanny. I'm happy to be part of this group. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Don't forget to follow these illustrators and... Stay safe and take care! 😉💕⁠⠀ Ps. To see the whole Illustrator bigger (sorry the formatting here is not the best, go in my stories or in my website, link in bio!) ⁠⠀ #illustration #drawing #dessin #renaissance #margueritedevalois #histoire #history #hoteldeville #angoulême #villeangoulême #mairieangouleme #poetess #poésie #rinascimento #literature #queen #medievalilluminations #giorgiamarras #enluminures⁠⠀ #historicalfashion #france⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ (presso Angoulême, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKT6FAKB3mp/?igshid=f1jl84hodxm4
