EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the elegance and grace of Madame La Comtesse de Saint Geran, a prominent aristocrat in 17th-century France. Painted by Joseph Parrocel in 1670, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 67.5x57 cm and is currently housed at Skokloster Castle in Sweden. The Countess, whose real name was Francoise Madelaine Claude de Warignes, was the wife of Bernhard de Guiche, Count of Saint-Geran. This equestrian portrait was commissioned by Louis Marie Victoire, Duc d'Aumont and features a stunning view of the Palace of Versailles as its backdrop. Dressed in opulent attire befitting her noble status, Madame La Comtesse sits confidently atop her majestic horse. The painting exudes an air of regality and sophistication that epitomizes the French court during the reign of the Sun King - Louis XIV. Parrocel's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the intricate embroidery on her gown to the subtle play of light on her face. This artwork not only showcases his technical skill but also serves as a testament to the grandeur and splendor associated with French nobility. As we gaze upon this exquisite piece, we are transported back in time to an era where aristocracy reigned supreme. It reminds us of their privileged lives filled with luxury and privilege while offering a glimpse into one woman's place within this esteemed social hierarchy.
