Marie Adelaide de Savoie, Duchesse de Bourgogne (1685-1712): A Regal Portrait of the Mother of Louis XV This exquisite portrait captures the enchanting beauty and regal bearing of Marie Adelaide de Savoie, Duchesse de Bourgogne, the future mother of the renowned French monarch, Louis XV. Born in 1685 as the eldest daughter of Victor Amadeus II, Duke of Savoy, Marie Adelaide's life was marked by political alliances and royal marriages. At the tender age of 12, Marie Adelaide was betrothed to the Dauphin of France, Louis, the future Louis XIV's heir. The marriage took place in 1697, and Marie Adelaide became the Duchesse de Bourgogne. Her union with the Dauphin was significant, as it strengthened the ties between the French and Savoyard courts. The portrait, painted between 1685 and 1697, showcases the young duchess's striking features. Her delicate complexion, rosy cheeks, and expressive eyes are accentuated by her elegant attire. The intricately designed gown, adorned with lace and pearls, reflects the opulence and grandeur of the French court. Marie Adelaide's life as the Duchesse de Bourgogne was marked by tragedy. She lost her husband in 1711, and her son, the future Louis XV, ascended to the throne at the tender age of five. Marie Adelaide served as regent during her son's minority, but she passed away in 1712, leaving an indelible mark on French history. This portrait, with its captivating depiction of Marie Adelaide's youthful beauty and regal presence, serves as a poignant reminder of her significant role in the annals of French and European history.
