EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the three nieces of Cardinal Mazarin, depicted as goddesses Venus, Juno, and Diana. Painted by an anonymous French artist in the 17th century, this oil on copper masterpiece measures 20.5x28.5 cm and is currently housed at the Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee du Petit-Palais in France. The daughters of Lorenzo Mancini and Girolama Mazarin were famously known as the Mazarinettes. From left to right in the painting, we see Hortense (1646-99), Duchess of Mazarin and mistress of King Charles II; Olympe (1639-1708) Comtesse de Soissons and mother of Austrian general Eugene of Savoy (1663-1736); Marie (1639-1715) Princess Colonna. Each niece embodies a different aspect of femininity and power: Venus represents love and beauty with her flowing hair adorned with flowers; Juno symbolizes marriage and fertility while holding a bouquet; Diana personifies independence as she wields her bow ready for hunting. The intricate details captured by the artist bring these divinities to life. The soft brushstrokes highlight their youthful features while conveying their noble lineage. This print not only celebrates female strength but also pays homage to the rich history surrounding these remarkable women. As we gaze upon this enchanting image, we are transported back in time to witness the elegance
