EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the medallion portrait of Madame de La Fayette, a renowned French novelist. Created by the talented engraver Etienne Jehandier Desrochers in the 17th century, this exquisite artwork is now housed in the prestigious Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. Madame de La Fayette, also known as Marie Madeleine Pioche de Lavergne, Comtesse de La Fayette (1634-93), was not only an accomplished writer but also a woman of letters. She is best remembered for her masterpiece "La Princesse de Cleves" a groundbreaking novel that explored themes of love, duty, and societal expectations. In this medallion portrait, Madame de La Fayette's delicate features are beautifully captured with intricate details. Her ringlet curls frame her face elegantly while her piercing gaze hints at both intelligence and depth. This image serves as a testament to her literary legacy and enduring influence on French literature. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry from centuries past, let us remember Madame de La Fayette's contribution to the world of letters and celebrate her lasting impact on storytelling.
