EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Portrait of Dreux d Aubray, lieutenant civil au Chatelet, 1658" offers a glimpse into the life of Antoine Dreux d Aubray. The portrait, created by Robert Nanteuil in 1658, measures 50x40 cm and is housed in the Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet. Antoine Dreux d Aubray was a notable figure during his time as a civil servant. However, his story took an unexpected turn when he became entangled in one of history's most infamous criminal cases - the Affaire des Poisons. This scandalous affair involved allegations of poisonings and dark secrets within French society. The portrait captures Dreux d Aubray's dignified presence as he gazes confidently at the viewer. Little did he know that his own daughter would be implicated in his tragic demise. Marie-Madeleine-Marguerite d'Aubray, Marquise de Brinvilliers allegedly poisoned her father, leading to his untimely death. As we admire this remarkable artwork today, it serves as a reminder of the complexities and mysteries that lie beneath seemingly ordinary lives. The intricate details captured by Nanteuil bring forth both admiration for Dreux d Aubray's position and curiosity about the circumstances surrounding his unfortunate fate. Through this engraving from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to 17th-century France where power struggles and hidden secrets
