EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the enigmatic figure of Catherine Henriette de Balzac, Marquise de Verneuil (1612-1642), the mistress of Henri IV, King of France. The painting, created in 1633, offers a glimpse into the complex web of power and passion that defined the French court during the early modern period. Born into the noble Balzac family, Catherine Henriette de Balzac de Verneuil rose to prominence as the favored mistress of the King, who was already married to Marie de' Medici. Their relationship began in 1626 when Catherine Henriette was just 14 years old, and it continued until the King's untimely death in 1610. Despite the political and social challenges that came with being the royal mistress, Catherine Henriette de Balzac de Verneuil wielded significant influence at the French court. She was known for her intelligence, beauty, and charm, and she used these qualities to navigate the intricate political landscape of the time. The painting itself is a testament to the Marquise's allure. She is depicted in a sumptuous gown, adorned with pearls and diamonds, and her expressive eyes convey a sense of strength and determination. The artist, unknown to us, expertly captures the Marquise's beauty and the elegance of the period. The portrait of Catherine Henriette de Balzac, Marquise de Verneuil, offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of a woman who defied convention and wielded power in a time when women were often relegated to the sidelines. Her story is a reminder of the complex and often contradictory nature of power, passion, and politics in early modern Europe.
