EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a Protestant caricature of Madame de Maintenon, an influential figure in French history. The illustration is taken from "Les Heros de La Ligue ou La Procession monacale, conduite par Louis XIV, pour la conversion des protestants de son royaume" a publication dating back to 1691. Madame de Maintenon, also known as Francoise d'Aubigne, was the widow of writer Paul Scarron and the morganatic second wife of King Louis XIV. This caricature portrays her during a time when Huguenots were facing persecution following the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. The image depicts Madame de Maintenon wearing a hooded cloak with a Catholic cross around her neck. The grotesque features and satirical nature highlight the tensions between Protestants and Catholics during this period. It serves as both a political commentary and religious satire. Intricate details such as fleur-de-lys motifs can be seen surrounding Madame de Maintenon's portrait within a medallion shape. The use of mezzotint technique adds depth to this engraving by Dusart and Gole attributed piece. This print offers us insight into historical events that shaped France's counter-reformation era under Louis XIV's rule. It reminds us of the power struggles between different religious factions while showcasing artistry through its intricate composition and attention to detail.
