EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Mary of Modena, the Queen Consort of King James II of Great Britain. Painted by S Audran, it beautifully captures the essence and regal presence of this remarkable woman. Mary d'Este, born in 1658 in Italy, became the second wife of James II when they wedded in 1673 during his time as Duke of York. The portrait portrays her wearing a stunning dress that exemplifies the fashion trends popular in 17th century England. As a devout Catholic, Mary's religious beliefs played a significant role in her life and influenced her actions as queen consort. This engraving not only highlights her faith but also symbolizes the religious tensions present during that era. The artist skillfully emphasizes Mary's elegance and grace through intricate details such as her delicate features and refined posture. Her status as queen is further emphasized by the inclusion of symbols associated with monarchy and royalty. Adriaen van der Werff's contribution to this artwork adds depth to its composition, enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal. Through their collaboration, S Audran successfully immortalized Mary's beauty for generations to admire. This print serves as a testament to an influential figure who navigated complex political landscapes while remaining true to herself and her beliefs.
