EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving showcases Madame de Maintenon, the esteemed mistress of King Louis XIV of France. The image, created by the French School in the 19th century, is a testament to the elegance and beauty that defined this historical figure. Madame de Maintenon, born in 1635 and passing away in 1719, held a significant place in French history as she captured the heart of one of its most powerful rulers. This illustration was originally featured in "Costumes des Femmes Francaises du XII to XVIII siecle" by Charles Tallandier in 1900. Printed by Charles Wittmann and hand-coloured by Nervet, this particular version is a reprint from an 1837 edition. It offers us a glimpse into the fashion and style prevalent during Madame de Maintenon's time. Dressed exquisitely with intricate details on her dress and headdress, Madame de Maintenon radiates grace and sophistication. Her portrait captures her poise as well as her influence over Louis XIV's court. This print not only serves as a stunning piece of art but also provides valuable insight into French culture during the reign of Louis XIV - known as "The Sun King". As part of the House of Bourbon France dynasty, Madame de Maintenon played an integral role alongside her royal lover. Overall, this enchanting engraving immortalizes both Madame de Maintenon's legacy and the timeless allure of French fashion from centuries
