EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Louise de La Vallière, a prominent figure in French history. Born in 1644, she became the mistress of Louis XIV, the Sun King, from 1661 to 1667. In this portrait titled "Louise as Diana, goddess of the hunt" we see her depicted as the mythical Greek goddess known for her hunting skills. Painted on canvas during the late 17th century by Claude Lefebvre or an artist inspired by him, this artwork captures Louise's elegance and beauty. She stands tall with a bow and arrow in hand, embodying Diana's fierce and independent spirit. The fine details of her decolletage dress and flowing hair add to her allure. As a noblewoman and mistress to one of France's most powerful monarchs, Louise held great influence at court. Her relationship with Louis XIV resulted in four children but ultimately ended when he turned his attention towards Madame de Montespan. This print is part of Bradley Smith's Carousel Collection that celebrates historical figures like Louise de La Vallière. It offers us a glimpse into the opulent world of French aristocracy during the 17th century while highlighting Louise's significant role as both a woman and royal mistress.
