EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the elegant portrait of Francoise d Aubigne, Marquise de Maintenon, painted by Pierre Mignard. The oil on canvas artwork is housed in the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Niort, France. Francoise d Aubigne, also known as Madame Scarron and later Madame de Maintenon, was the second wife of King Louis XIV of France. Despite their marriage never being officially announced or admitted, she wielded significant influence at court. Her intelligence and charm captivated the king's heart. In addition to her role as queen consort, Francoise founded the Maison royale de Saint-Louis in 1684. This prestigious school provided education for girls from less privileged noble families. The portrait captures Francoise's regal beauty with exquisite detail. She wears a stunning necklace adorned with pearls that accentuate her graceful neckline. Her attire reflects French luxury and royalty; delicate lace cascades down her decollete while silks and ribbons add opulence to her ensemble. The painting exudes an air of affluence and power befitting a mistress to the king. It serves as a testament to both Francoise's personal wealth and her influential position within Louis XIV's court. Leonard de Selva skillfully captures this masterpiece through his lens, preserving its timeless allure for all art enthusiasts to admire today.
