Anne de Rohan, Princesse de Soubise: A Remarkable Mistress of Louis XIV This exquisite 17th-century portrait captures Anne de Rohan, Princesse de Soubise (1648-1709), one of the most intriguing figures in the court of King Louis XIV of France. Born into the noble Rohan family, Anne was a woman of exceptional beauty and intelligence, which made her a favorite among the French monarchy. Anne's relationship with Louis XIV began in 1661 when she was just 13 years old. The King, who was known for his many amours, was immediately captivated by her charm and grace. Anne became one of Louis's official mistresses, a title she held for over 20 years. Despite the scandal that surrounded her position at court, Anne was a woman of substance. She was a patron of the arts, a generous philanthropist, and a shrewd political operator. She used her influence to help her family and allies, and was known for her sharp wit and quick intellect. In this portrait, Anne is depicted in the height of her beauty, with her dark hair styled in elaborate curls and her eyes framed by long lashes. She wears a sumptuous gown of deep blue velvet, adorned with gold embroidery and pearls. The rich colors and intricate details of the painting reflect the opulence of the French court during the reign of Louis XIV. Anne de Rohan, Princesse de Soubise, was more than just a mistress to the King. She was a powerful figure in her own right, a woman who used her beauty, intelligence, and charm to navigate the treacherous waters of the French court. This portrait is a testament to her enduring legacy as one of the most intriguing and enigmatic figures of the Sun King's reign.
