EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative portrait, Marie de Rabutin-Chantal, Marquise de Sevigne (1626-1696), is depicted in the prime of her life, exuding an air of refined elegance and intelligence. The Marquise, known for her renowned correspondence with her daughter, is seen wearing an ornate, richly embroidered robe, adorned with lace collars and cuffs. Her expressive eyes gaze intently at an unseen audience, revealing her sharp wit and engaging personality. Born into a noble family in 1626, Marie de Rabutin-Chantal rose to prominence in French society during the late 17th century. She was married at a young age to Henri II de Sabran, Marquis de Paulmiller, and later to François II de Chantal, Duke of Mirebel. However, it was her intimate and lively letters to her daughter, Françoise de Rabutin-Zibel, that have endured through history, providing a unique insight into the life and times of a French noblewoman. These letters, penned between 1651 and 1661, offer a vivid account of Marie's experiences, observations, and thoughts on various aspects of court life, politics, and society. She wrote about the intrigues and machinations of the French court, her relationships with influential figures, and her own personal struggles and triumphs. Her correspondence also reveals her deep love and concern for her daughter, whom she encouraged to pursue a life of learning and self-improvement. This striking portrait of Madame de Sevigne, created in 1696 by an unknown artist, serves as a visual testament to her enduring legacy as a literary figure and a symbol of the French nobility during the Ancien Régime. The image captures the essence of a woman who defied the conventions of her time through her intelligence, wit, and unwavering devotion to her family.
