EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Princess of Wallachia" transports us to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of the Levant. Created in 1707-08 by Jean Baptiste Vanmour and engraved by Pierre Rochefort, this coloured engraving is part of the esteemed Collection of One Hundred Prints Representing the Different Nations of the Levant. The image showcases an exquisite female figure adorned in a resplendent ensemble that epitomizes oriental opulence. Her vibrant floral gown, embellished with intricate embroidery and gold accents, exudes regality and elegance. The fur-trimmed cape adds an element of luxury while her ornate hat completes her majestic appearance. As we delve deeper into this artwork, we discover that it portrays a Wallachian princess - a member of Romanian nobility - during a time when French ambassador Charles de Ferriol served Louis XIV in the Ottoman Empire. This piece not only captures fashion trends but also serves as an illustration of cross-cultural exchange between Eastern and Western societies. Vanmour's attention to detail brings forth every nuance: from the princess' delicate features to her confident stance. The artist masterfully combines elements of orientalism with his own artistic style, creating an alluring composition that captivates viewers even centuries later. Preserved within private collections today, this remarkable print continues to inspire awe and appreciation for its historical significance and artistic brilliance.
