Anonymous Burgundy Chantilly Cond Duchess 15th Persons Up Right
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th century oil on wood portrait depicts Mary of Burgundy (1457-1482), the Duchess of Burgundy, during her reign between 1477 and 1482. The anonymous artist masterfully captures the young duchess's regal presence and beauty, with her rich burgundy gown and intricately woven headdress adorned with precious stones. The vibrant colors and fine details of the painting reflect the artistic excellence of the time. Mary of Burgundy was the daughter of Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, and his second wife, Isabelle of Bourbon. Upon her father's death in 1477, she inherited the Duchy of Burgundy, becoming one of the most powerful women in Europe at the age of 20. Her reign was marked by political alliances, military campaigns, and cultural patronage. This portrait, now housed in the Musée Condé in Chantilly, France, is a testament to the artistic and historical significance of Mary of Burgundy's life and rule. The vertical composition and the up-right posture of the duchess convey her strength and authority, while the delicate rendering of her features and the rich colors of her attire reflect the refined taste and wealth of the Burgundian court. The portrait offers a unique glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who shaped European history and left an indelible mark on the arts.
