EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite portrait captures Madeleine Angélique de Neuville Villeroy, Duchesse de Luxembourg (1707-1787), a prominent French social leader of the 18th century. The Duchesse, born in Paris, was the daughter of the Marquis de Neuville and Anne-Geneviève de Bourbon-Conde. She married the Duke of Luxembourg in 1725, becoming the Duchess of Luxembourg and Bearn. The Duchesse de Luxembourg was known for her intelligence, beauty, and grace, making her a popular figure in French high society. She was an active patron of the arts and sciences, supporting various literary and artistic endeavors. The Duchesse was also known for her charitable works, establishing a hospice for the poor and founding a school for girls in Paris. This portrait, likely painted between 1730 and 1740, showcases the Duchesse's elegant and refined appearance. She is depicted wearing a sumptuous robe of deep blue velvet, adorned with intricate gold embroidery and a matching mantle. Her hair is styled in the latest fashion, with delicate curls framing her face and a large, ornate headdress atop her head. The Duchesse's piercing gaze and confident posture exude a sense of strength and sophistication. The Duchesse de Luxembourg's legacy extended beyond her personal accomplishments. She was a key figure in French society during a time of political and social change, and her influence helped shape the cultural landscape of the 18th century. This portrait serves as a reminder of her enduring impact and the elegance and refinement of the French aristocracy during this period.
