Marie de Medicis, a prominent figure in European history, was not just any queen. She left an indelible mark on the world with her grandeur and influence. From the exquisite gardens of Luxembourg to her eventful arrival in Amsterdam, Marie's life was filled with captivating moments. In the Grand Parterre du Jardin de la Royne mere a Luxembourg, Marie showcased her love for nature and beauty. Designed according to Traitedu Jardinage selon les R. . 1638 by Michel van Lochom, this garden became a testament to her refined taste. However, not all aspects of Marie's life were as picturesque as her gardens. The arrest of Leonora Dori called Galigai shook the royal court. As marechale d'Anchor from 1568-1617, Galigai faced consequences that would forever change Marie's reign. Despite these challenges, Marie continued to make waves wherever she went. In Antwerp in 1632, she disembarked with grace and elegance that captivated all who witnessed it. The oil painting depicting this moment perfectly captures the essence of her regal presence. Inside the chambers of power at Saint James Palace depicted in Le Cercle De Leurs Magestes Dans La Chambre De Presence: A: S. Iames by an anonymous artist in 1639; we see Marie surrounded by influential figures who sought her favor and guidance. One particular event that stands out is the daring escape from Chateau de Blois captured in an engraving titled Evasion de Marie de Medicis du chateau de Blois. This act demonstrated both courage and determination against those who opposed her rule. Throughout history, artists have immortalized Queen Marie through their works like Frans Pourbus the Younger's portrait from 1616 or various engravings showcasing different aspects of her life such as Coiffure or Mary de Medici, Concini and Leonara Galigai.
