EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, we are introduced to Julie d'Angennes as Astree, a character from the renowned novel "L'Astree" by Honore d'Urfe. Painted by Claude Deruet in oil on canvas, this masterpiece is housed at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Strasbourg, France. Julie d'Angennes exudes elegance and grace as she sits serenely amidst a picturesque scene. Adorned with a garland of flowers delicately placed upon her head, she embodies the epitome of beauty and femininity. This floral arrangement serves as an allusion to the collection of poems dedicated to her by her future husband Duc de Montausier called "La Guirlande de Julie" which earned her the title of L'Incomparable Julie. Dressed in a shepherdess costume, Julie holds a crook symbolizing pastoral life while surrounded by sheep grazing peacefully nearby. Her attire is adorned with lace and exquisite jewelry including a brooch and pearls that add an air of sophistication to her ensemble. Beyond being depicted as Astree, it is worth noting that later in life Julie became governess to the French royal children—a testament to both her intelligence and influence within society. This print captures not only the physical beauty but also the depth of character possessed by Julie d'Angennes. It serves as a timeless reminder of an extraordinary woman who left an indelible mark on history through literature and personal achievements.
