EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Augustin de Saint-Aubin showcases the elegant and enigmatic figure of Francoise d'Aubigne, better known as Madame de Maintenon. With her delicate profile captured in exquisite detail, this portrait offers a glimpse into the life of one of France's most intriguing historical figures. Francoise d'Aubigne rose from humble beginnings to become the wife of Louis XIV, King of France. However, their union was not without controversy - it was considered a morganatic marriage due to her lower social status. Despite this, Madame de Maintenon wielded significant influence over the French court and played an instrumental role in shaping its cultural landscape. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a time of revolution and upheaval - the French Revolution loomed on the horizon. Yet amidst these turbulent times, Madame de Maintenon remained an emblem of grace and poise. The artist skillfully captures her allure with intricate lines and shading that bring out every nuance in her expression. This portrait is a testament to both Saint-Aubin's talent as an engraver and Madame de Maintenon's enduring legacy. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world, this print serves as a reminder of France's rich history and its remarkable women who defied societal norms. It invites us to delve deeper into the fascinating story behind Francoise d'Aubigne - a woman whose influence extended far beyond her royal title.
