EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases the elegant and enigmatic Madame de Maintenon, a woman of great influence and significance in French history. Created by artist Gordon Ross, this portrait captures the essence of Madame de Maintenon's beauty and allure. Madame de Maintenon was renowned for her intelligence, charm, and unwavering devotion to King Louis XIV of France. As his second wife, she played a pivotal role in shaping the court at Versailles and exerting her influence over political affairs. Her refined taste and impeccable manners made her an esteemed figure among the aristocracy. In this engraving, we see Madame de Maintenon depicted with grace and poise. Her regal posture exudes confidence while her serene expression hints at hidden depths beneath her composed exterior. The intricate details of the lithograph bring out every delicate feature - from the soft curls cascading down her shoulders to the fine lines etched on her face that speak volumes about a life well-lived. This print is part of Living Biographies of Famous Women series published in 1942, which aimed to celebrate remarkable women throughout history. It serves as a testament to Madame de Maintenon's enduring legacy as one such influential figure who left an indelible mark on French society.
