EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Francoise-Athenaise Rochechouart de Mortemart, Marquise de Montespan, a prominent figure in French history. Painted by an anonymous artist from the 17th century French School, this oil on canvas masterpiece now resides in the Musee de Tesse in Le Mans, France. Francoise-Athenaise exudes elegance and grace as she sits regally, adorned with a stunning pearl necklace that accentuates her beauty. The delicate flowers surrounding her symbolize her femininity and charm. Among them stands a vibrant sunflower, representing vitality and strength. Known for her role as Louis XIV's mistress during the height of French court life, Madame de Montespan was not only admired for her physical allure but also revered for her intelligence and wit. This portrait perfectly captures both aspects of her character - sophistication combined with an air of mystery. It is impossible to view this image without contemplating the scandalous Affair of the Poisons that rocked Parisian society in 1679. Although not explicitly depicted here, it serves as a reminder of Madame de Montespan's involvement in these dark events. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to a time when power dynamics were played out behind closed doors at Versailles. It reminds us that even those who held great influence over kings could be immortalized through artistry like this remarkable painting.
