EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of nobility and opulence in 18th-century France. Painted by Louis Michel van Loo, it showcases the Marquis de Marigny and his wife, Marie-Francoise Constance Julie Filleul. The couple is depicted with regal poise, exuding an air of sophistication and power. The Marquis, Abel Francois Poisson, was not only a member of the aristocracy but also held prestigious positions as Directeur General des Batiments du Roi (Director General of the King's Buildings). His wife, Marie Francoise Filleul, adds to their allure with her silver dress adorned with frills that accentuate her elegance. The setting itself speaks volumes about their status. The grand interior features a lavish dressing table complete with a mirror reflecting their double portraits. This detail emphasizes their self-awareness and desire for posterity. Both husband and wife are portrayed in exquisite gowns that highlight their noble lineage. Their staff stands nearby as a symbol of authority within this privileged world. It is worth noting that Marie Francoise Filleul was not just any woman; she was the illegitimate daughter of Louis XV himself. This connection to royalty further enhances the couple's social standing and prestige. In this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness the splendor of French aristocracy through this stunning portrayal of two influential figures from history.
