EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the portrait of Paul Scarron, a renowned French writer known for his burlesque comedies. The image captures him seated on an invalid chair, symbolizing his physical disability. Behind him stands his wife Francoise d'Aubigne, who later became Marquise de Maintenon and secretly married King Louis XIV of France. The engraving beautifully portrays Scarron's resilience and determination despite his physical limitations. His expression exudes intelligence and wit, reflecting the brilliance of his comedic works. The artist skillfully captures the essence of Scarron's literary genius through this striking portrayal. Standing in the shadow behind her husband, Francoise d'Aubigne adds an air of mystery to the composition. Little did anyone know at that time that she would go on to become Madame de Maintenon and hold significant influence over the French court as Louis XIV's secret wife. This intimate moment frozen in time offers a glimpse into their lives - one filled with creativity, love, and hidden ambitions. It serves as a testament to their enduring partnership and shared passion for literature. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of the power art holds in immortalizing both extraordinary individuals like Paul Scarron and those whose stories have been overshadowed by history like Francoise d'Aubigne-Madame de Maintenon.
