EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Portrait of Catherine Deshayes" transports us back to the 17th century in France during a time of intrigue and mystery. Created by Antoine Coypel, this artwork depicts Catherine Deshayes, also known as La Voisin, who was involved in the notorious "Affair of the Poison". The portrait showcases an array of symbolic elements that add depth to its narrative. A young girl stands at the center, holding a sickle while being accompanied by a snake and dragon. These mythical creatures represent danger and deceit, alluding to the dark world of witchcraft and occult science that surrounded La Voisin. Intriguingly, a skeleton is intertwined with her figure, symbolizing death and hinting at her involvement in poisoning practices. The presence of various animals further adds to the enigmatic atmosphere surrounding this historical figure. Coypel's use of color brings vibrancy to this allegorical portrayal. With meticulous attention to detail, he captures every nuance from Catherine Deshayes' expression down to each skeletal feature. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's collection curated by Bridgeman Images, we are transported into a realm where history intertwines with mythology and conspiracy lurks around every corner. It serves as a reminder that even within art lies untold stories waiting for our exploration.
