EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of regal elegance and familial connection. In the painting "Duchess de la Ferte with the Duke of Brittany and the Duke of Anjou (Louis XV)" by Francois de Troy, we are transported to a time when royal portraits were not only about power but also about intimate relationships. The Duchess de la Ferte, adorned in exquisite garments, stands proudly beside her godson, the young Duke of Brittany. As she gazes affectionately at him, it is evident that their bond goes beyond mere formality. The presence of another child suggests that this may be a family gathering or perhaps an important event in their lives. Intriguingly, one figure remains uncertainly identified as the Duke of Anjou, who would later become known as Louis XV. This ambiguity adds an air of mystery to the composition and invites us to delve into historical research. The setting is equally enchanting - a balustrade adorned with garlands frames the scene while Roman-inspired attire hints at classical influences. The crown made of flowers delicately placed on top symbolizes youth and innocence. This remarkable artwork not only showcases Troy's mastery in capturing human emotions but also serves as a testament to the intricate web that connects royalty through bloodlines and alliances. It reminds us that even behind grand titles lie personal connections filled with love and devotion.
