Frankreich 2nd half of the 17th century
Françoise de Rochechouart, Marquise de Montespan
Handwritten attribution to Caspar Netscher verso. Oil on canvas. Relined. Restored. Damage to frame (65 x 52 cm).

Madame de Montespan war eine Mätresse von König Ludwig XIV. Unter dem Einfluss der damaligen Salonkultur nannte sie sich "Athénaïs" (nach der griechischen Göttin Athene). Sie galt den Einen als kultiviert und charmant, gleichzeitig empfanden sie die Anderen als berechnend und kaltherzig. Zielstrebig verfolgte sie ihren Plan, zur "maitresse en titre" aufzusteigen. 1667 erreichte sie ihr Ziel und verdrängte - zunächst noch heimlich - die offizielle maitresse en titre, Louise de La Vallière. Athénaïs sollte dem König sieben Kinder gebären. Der König wiederum ließ für Madame de Montespan mehrere Schlösser erbauen, darunter das Trianon de Porcelain in Versailles. Im April 1679 wurde Madame de Montespan Oberintendantin des Haushalts der Königin. Dies war das offizielle Ende ihrer Funktion als maitresse en titre. Bei aller "Degradierung" am Hofe blieb die Marquise de Montespan bis 1691 in Versailles, danach zog sie sich nach Paris zurück.
