EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the essence of French literary greatness in the 17th century. The Duke Francois de La Rochefoucauld, the Marquise Madame de Sevigne, and the Countess de La Fayette stand together in this timeless image, showcasing their immense contributions to literature. The Duke Francois de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680), known for his profound insights into human nature, is depicted with an air of wisdom and authority. His writings on love, friendship, and self-interest continue to resonate with readers today. Beside him stands the Marquise Madame de Sevigne (1626-1696), a celebrated letter writer whose correspondence has become legendary. Her eloquent prose and witty observations have made her one of France's most beloved writers. Completing this trio is the Countess de La Fayette (1634-1693), renowned for her novel "La Princesse de Cleves" which explores themes of love, duty, and societal expectations. Her work was groundbreaking at a time when female authors were not widely recognized. Engraved by Hildebrand after P. Philippoteaux and featured in Francois Guizot's "L'histoire de France racontée à mes petits-enfants" from 1872-1876, this print showcases these influential figures against a backdrop that exudes elegance and sophistication. As we gaze upon this enchanting engraving from Stefano Bianchetti's private collection, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left behind by these remarkable French writers who continue to inspire generations with their words.
