EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historical moment between two prominent figures in French literature. Marie de Rabutin-Chantal, also known as Madame de Sevigne, is seen playfully forcing Gilles Menage, a renowned French grammarian and writer, to ride in her carriage. The engraving by A. Duruy is part of the "Illustrations litteraires de la France; or, Galerie anecdotique de nos principaux auteurs ints par leurs actions et leurs inscriptions" by J. B. Maigrot from 1865. Marie de Rabutin-Chantal was a distinguished Marquise who lived from 1626 to 1696. Known for her extensive correspondence with family and friends, she became one of the most celebrated letter writers in history. Her wit and charm are evident even in this candid moment captured by the artist. Gilles Menage was a contemporary of Madame de Sevigne, born in 1613 and passing away in 1692. He made significant contributions to the field of linguistics through his work on grammar and lexicography. The image showcases their unique relationship as literary figures intertwined within social circles during the seventeenth century. It provides us with a glimpse into their lives beyond their written works. This particular print is part of a private collection belonging to Stefano Bianchetti but has been made available for public viewing through Fine Art Finder. Its timeless appeal allows us to appreciate these influential individuals' connection while immersing ourselves in French literary history.
