EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and humorous colour lithograph captures the essence of Madame De Maintenon, a prominent figure in French history. Illustrated by Lucien Metivet for Le Rire magazine on 24th February 1900, this artwork showcases the artist's skill in caricature and satire. Madame De Maintenon is depicted with exaggerated features, particularly her protruding bust, which adds to the comic effect of the illustration. The artist cleverly uses these exaggerated elements to poke fun at French social norms and conventions of that era. The satirical cartoon also includes soldiers from Saint-Cyr, further emphasizing the contrast between military discipline and Madame De Maintenon's prideful demeanor. This scathing satire highlights societal hypocrisy while providing a comical commentary on French culture during that time. Metivet's artistic style combines both wit and charm as he presents this amusing portrayal of Madame De Maintenon. His use of bold colours brings vibrancy to the scene, capturing attention immediately. This print serves as a testament to Metivet's talent as an illustrator and his ability to create thought-provoking yet entertaining artworks. It offers viewers a glimpse into early 20th-century France through its unique blend of humour and artistry. Displayed proudly in private collections worldwide, this piece continues to be admired for its artistic merit and historical significance.
