EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print captures the beauty and tragedy of Jeanne Becu, comtesse du Barry, also known as Madame du Barry. As the last Maitresse-en-titre of Louis XV of France, she lived a life of luxury and scandal in the opulent court of Versailles. However, her fate took a dark turn during the tumultuous years of the French Revolution. Madame du Barry's story is one of power, passion, and ultimately betrayal. She was a victim of the Reign of Terror that swept through France in the late 18th century, leading to her tragic end at the guillotine in 1793. Her beheading marked the downfall of a woman who once held sway over one of Europe's most powerful monarchs. In this haunting image from Illustrierte Sittengeschichte vom Mittelalter bis zur Gegenwart by Eduard Fuchs, Madame du Barry's delicate features are immortalized for posterity. The artist has captured her allure and elegance, hinting at the complex personality behind those enigmatic eyes. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are reminded not only of Madame du Barry's undeniable charm but also of the turbulent times in which she lived. Her story serves as a cautionary tale about how quickly fortunes can change in an unforgiving world.
