EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the elegance and grace of Francoise d'Aubigne, Marquise de Maintenon, the second wife of King Louis XIV of France. Painted by Antoine Coypel in oil on canvas, this masterpiece measures 98x152 cm and is currently held in a private collection. Francoise d'Aubigne was initially known as Madame Scarron during her first marriage but later became Madame de Maintenon. Although her marriage to the king was never officially announced or admitted, she wielded significant influence at court. Her intelligence and charm were renowned, making her an iconographic figure in French history. In addition to her royal status, Francoise had a deep love for music and literature. This painting beautifully showcases her passion for both art forms as she holds a book while surrounded by musical instruments such as a lute and lyre. The inclusion of these objects symbolizes not only her personal interests but also highlights her role as a patroness of the arts. Beyond being an influential figure at court, Francoise founded the Maison royale de Saint-Louis in 1684—a school dedicated to educating girls from less privileged noble families—an act that further solidified her legacy. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this historic piece through their print service offered by Fine Art Finder. It allows us to appreciate every intricate detail within Coypel's brushstrokes while admiring the timeless beauty of Francoise d'Aubigne herself.
