EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisite portrait from the first half of the 18th century, Marie-Anne de Nesle, Marquise de La Tournelle, Duchesse de Châteauroux, captivates the viewer with her enchanting beauty and regal elegance. The painting, an anonymous work found in the esteemed collection of the Musée Cognacq-Jay in Paris, showcases the aristocratic grace and sophistication that defined the French nobility during the reign of King Louis XV. Marie-Anne de Nesle, born in 1717, was a member of the prominent House of Mailly. Her marriage to the Duke of Châteauroux, a favorite of King Louis XV, further elevated her status within the French aristocracy. The painting reflects her high rank, adorned in an ornate robe of deep blue velvet, trimmed with ermine, and a diadem adorned with pearls and diamonds. The portrait's setting, with its lush, Rococo-inspired background, evokes the opulence and grandeur of the Palace of Versailles. The Seven Years' War, which began in 1756, loomed on the horizon, but in this moment, Marie-Anne's serene expression and resplendent attire serve as a reminder of the absolute power and wealth that the French monarchy held during this period. The Marquise de La Tournelle's portrait, a testament to the artistic mastery of the time, has been cherished for centuries as a symbol of the aristocracy's unwavering commitment to beauty, elegance, and the absolute power of the monarchy during the Age of Enlightenment.
