Wallpaper for Agnes Sorel

Sadly for the extravagant Agnes Sorel, she lived in the 15th century, almost two centuries before wallpaper existed in Europe. Sorel was the favorite mistress of Charles VII of France, who gave her an official title maîtresse-en-titre, a chateau, and anything else she desired. Although she had many beautiful tapestries, I imagine that she would have loved wallpaper for her Château de Beauté, so I created some for her.

Since Agnes Sorel is probably most famous for her legendary fashion style, loosening her low-cut bodice to expose her breasts, there are hints of bosoms in her imagined wall paper.

Sorel was the model for many paintings, including Jean Fouquet's Virgin and Child Surrounded by Angels, portraying the Madonna with one exposed breast.
