Marie Angélique Scoraille de Roussille, Duchesse de Fontanges: The Enigmatic Mistress of Louis XIV (1661-1681) This exquisite portrait captures the captivating beauty and enigmatic allure of Marie Angélique Scoraille de Roussille, Duchesse de Fontanges, who once held the heart of the Sun King, Louis XIV, under her spell. Born into a noble but impoverished family, Marie Angélique rose to prominence in the French court through her wit, charm, and unparalleled grace. Her striking features, with their delicate porcelain skin, deep-set eyes, and rosy lips, are immortalized in this stunning 17th-century painting. The Duchesse de Fontanges' rise to power began in 1661 when she caught the eye of the young and dashing Louis XIV. Their passionate love affair lasted for over two decades, despite the disapproval of the king's mother, Anne of Austria, and the opposition of the powerful Cardinal Mazarin. Marie Angélique's influence over Louis XIV extended beyond the bedroom, as she became a trusted advisor and confidante, often acting as a mediator between the king and his courtiers. However, their love story was not without its share of tragedy. In 1664, Marie Angélique was involved in a scandal when she was accused of attempting to poison the king's brother, Philippe, Duke of Orléans. Though she was eventually cleared of the charges, the incident tarnished her reputation and marked the beginning of the end of her relationship with Louis XIV. Despite the ups and downs of her life at court, Marie Angélique remained a fascinating figure in French history. Her story serves as a reminder of the power of beauty, charm, and determination, as well as the complexities and intrigues that surrounded the French court during the reign of Louis XIV.
