EDITORS COMMENTS
This bronze sculpture captures the regal beauty of Queen Marie de Medicis, a prominent figure in French history. Created by the talented artist Prieur, Barthelemy in 1600, this artwork now resides in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford. The bust portrays Queen Marie with exquisite detail and craftsmanship. Her elegant features are delicately sculpted, showcasing her noble lineage and royal stature. The baroque style adds an air of grandeur to the piece, reflecting the opulence and extravagance of the era. Marie de Medicis was not only a queen but also a powerful ruler who played a significant role in shaping France's destiny during her reign. Her confident gaze and dignified posture symbolize her strength as a leader. One cannot help but be captivated by Queen Marie's elaborate hairstyle, known as bouffant or coiffure. It is meticulously rendered with intricate curls and adorned with an ornate ruff collar that was fashionable during that time period. This remarkable portrait serves as both a testament to Queen Marie de Medicis' influence on French society and as an exceptional example of Western artistry. Its timeless appeal continues to inspire admiration for this remarkable woman who left an indelible mark on history through her rule and patronage of arts.
