EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Residential School of Saint Cyr, a renowned establishment from the 17th-18th century. At its heart stands Madame (Marquise) de Maintenon, also known as Francoise d'Aubigne, who founded this prestigious institution. Standing beside her is a religious lady who has taken her vows and a novice lady eager to embark on her own spiritual journey. Below them, we see the students of this esteemed school dressed in their uniform according to their class ranking. From left to right, we have maids belonging to the third class, followed by those in the second class, then the fourth class, and finally those in the first class. The engraving beautifully captures both the grandeur and discipline that defined life within these hallowed walls. It offers us a glimpse into an era where education was highly valued and social hierarchy played a significant role. This remarkable piece of art allows us to appreciate not only the architectural beauty of Saint Cyr but also highlights Madame de Maintenon's dedication towards providing young women with opportunities for growth and empowerment through education. It serves as a testament to her enduring legacy and impact on generations of students fortunate enough to be part of this extraordinary institution.
