EDITORS COMMENTS
Marie-Angélique Scoraille de Roussille, born in 1644, was a French noblewoman who rose to prominence as the mistress of King Louis XIV of France from 1661 to 1681. This exquisite portrait captures the allure and elegance of Marie-Angélique at the height of her influence at the French court. Born into a noble family, Marie-Angélique was raised in the opulent surroundings of the French nobility. Her beauty and charm caught the eye of the young Louis XIV, who was known for his many romantic liaisons. Marie-Angélique became the king's mistress at the tender age of 17, a position she held for over two decades. During her time as the king's favored mistress, Marie-Angélique lived a life of luxury and privilege. She was granted a lavish apartment in the Palace of Versailles, where she entertained the king and his courtiers. She was also given generous allowances and gifts, including jewels, furs, and fine clothing. Despite her privileged position, Marie-Angélique faced numerous challenges as the king's mistress. She was the subject of gossip and scandal, and her relationship with the king was a source of jealousy and intrigue among the other women at court. However, she managed to maintain her position and influence, and was even granted the title of "Marquise de Roussille" in 1675. This stunning portrait of Marie-Angélique Scoraille de Roussille captures the grace and poise of a woman who lived a life of luxury and intrigue at the French court. Her story is a testament to the power and allure of the women who shaped the history of the French monarchy.
