EDITORS COMMENTS
Renee de Rieux, also known as La Belle Chateauneuf, was a captivating figure of the French court during the reign of King Henry III (1550-1589). In this exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving by Georges Jacques Gatine, based on an illustration by Louis Marie Lante from the Galerie Francaise de Femmes Celebres, Renee is depicted in all her resplendent glory. The mistress of King Henry III is seen wearing a chic and fashionable attire of the late 16th century. She dons a chaperon with a distinctive peak, adding an air of elegance to her ensemble. Her black velvet dress, adorned with shoulder pads, accentuates her slender figure, while the lace ruff collar adds a touch of refinement to her neckline. The green sleeves and scarlet petticoat add vibrant pops of color to the monochromatic outfit. A gold rope belt cinches her waist, emphasizing her hourglass figure. Renee de Rieux was known for her exceptional beauty and allure, and this image encapsulates her timeless allure and the opulence of the French court during the Renaissance era.
