EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the elegant Anne Genevieve of Bourbon-Conde, Duchess of Longueville. Painted by the talented artist Gatine, this portrait captures her beauty and grace in stunning detail. Anne Genevieve de Bourbon-Conde was born in 1619 to Henri II de Bourbon, Prince of Conde and Charlotte-Marguerite de Montmorency. In 1642, she married Henri II d Orleans, Duke of Longueville, who was much older than her and held the position of Governor of Normandy. Her life took a dramatic turn when her brother Louis won the Battle of Rocroi in 1643. This victory propelled Anne Genevieve into court circles where she gained prominence and influence. However, her involvement in the Fronde rebellion and civil war that erupted in France from 1648 to 1653 led to her disgrace. Despite this setback, she was later pardoned by Louis XIV. In this portrait, Anne Genevieve is depicted wearing a beautiful blue dress that accentuates her regal stature. The color choice symbolizes loyalty and nobility while highlighting her status as a member of French royalty. Gatine's skillful engraving brings out every intricate detail on Anne Genevieve's face - from delicate features to an air of sophistication. This print serves as a timeless reminder of an influential woman who navigated through turbulent times with resilience and dignity.
