EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Angelique Arnauld d'Andilly, a prominent figure in French history. Painted by Philippe de Champaigne, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 73x58.5 cm and is currently housed at the illustrious Château de Versailles in France. Angelique Arnauld (1591-1661) was not only an abbess of Port Royal but also played a significant role in the Jansenism movement. Known as La Mère Angélique, she dedicated her life to religious pursuits and became a symbol of devotion and piety during her time. In this half-length portrait, Angelique exudes an air of serenity and wisdom. She wears a traditional wimple adorned with a red cross, signifying her commitment to faith and service. As the mother superior of Port Royal, she held great influence within the religious community. Philippe de Champaigne's skilled brushwork captures every detail of Angelique's countenance - from her gentle gaze to the subtle lines etched on her face that speak volumes about her experiences and spiritual journey. This remarkable artwork serves as both a tribute to Angelique Arnauld d'Andilly's legacy as well as an exquisite example of Baroque portraiture. It offers viewers a glimpse into the life of one extraordinary woman who left an indelible mark on French society through her unwavering dedication to God and principles she held dear.
