EDITORS COMMENTS
Marie Adelaide of Savoy, born in 1685, was the daughter of Victor Amadeus II, Duke of Savoy, and Anne of Austria. At the age of 15, she was married to Louis, Dauphin of France, who later became Louis, Duke of Burgundy. The marriage was a strategic alliance between France and Savoy, aimed at strengthening the French position in Italy. In this stunning handcoloured lithograph by Breton after a print by Bonnard from Le Bibliophile Jacob's Costumes Historiques de la France, Marie Adelaide is depicted in the grandeur of her role as Duchess of Burgundy and Dauphine of France. She wears an elegant and intricately designed dress, adorned with lace and gold embroidery, reflecting the opulence of the French court. Her hair is styled in elaborate curls, held in place by a diamond and pearl diadem. Marie Adelaide's marriage to Louis was a happy one, and she played an active role in court life. She was known for her beauty, intelligence, and piety, and was deeply devoted to her husband and their children. Tragically, Marie Adelaide passed away in 1712 at the young age of 27, leaving behind her husband and their five children. This beautiful lithograph is a testament to the elegance and grace of Marie Adelaide of Savoy, a woman who left an indelible mark on French and European history.
