17th Century French School Portrait of an aristocratic lady as the Magdalene Oil on canvas, framed 57.75 x 48.5 cm. /22 ¾ by 19 ins The frame 79 by 71 cm. / 31 by 28 ins PROVENANCE: Private collection, UK, until 2021 This painting is part of a tradition of allegorical portraits popular in France in the second half of the seventeenth century, which present royal or aristocratic ladies and gentlemen in the guise of ancient gods, heroes or saints. Such portraits appealed to the morality and erudition – as well as, presumably, to the vanity – of their aristocratic sitters, who wished to be associated with the virtues or deeds of their chosen subjects and to be portrayed in eye-catching and self-aggrandising costume. In this painting, an aristocratic French lady is depicted in the guise of Mary Magdalene, wearing classical pink and blue robes, holding the alabaster ointment jar she used for anointing Christ's feet, a religious book by her side and seated within a cave with a landscape in the distance on her right. According to medieval Christian legend, Mary spent the last thirty years of her life living in penitence in a grotto in southern France at Sainte Baume, Provence. The composition of the present painting derives from an allegorical portrait of Marie-Elizabeth (Isabelle) de Ludres (1647-1721), an aristocrat from Lorraine and one of Louis XIV’s mistresses, here shown in the guise of the Penitent Magdalene. That portrait, now in Versailles (Musée national du Château, inv. MV8927), also shows the sitter holding a gold ointment jar but with a different pose, dress and attributes (a skull, rather than a book, at the bottom left) to the present portrait.[1] Both paintings, however, share a similar background to the sitter’s right, suggesting that the Versailles painting was the inspiration for our picture. The Versailles portrait was previously considered to be from the workshop of Pierre Mignard, but is now attributed to Jean Nocret (c.1615-1672), a notable portrait painter at the court of Louis XIV. Indeed, the facial characteristics of the lady in our painting correspond to other female portraits by Jean Nocret, such as those in his allegorical portrait of La Famille Royale dans l’Olympe (Versailles, Musée national du Château, inv. MV897). Numerous other allegorical portraits by Nocret, such as his Portrait of Henriette d’Angleterre as Pallas (Royal Collection, RCIN 405910) can also be compared in terms of the sitter’s facial type and direct gaze, as well as the colour palette and the dark background contrasting with the bright drapery.[2] The fact that our portrait deviates significantly from the Versailles Madame de Ludres in terms of pose and facial characteristics suggests that it is an original work which was inspired by Nocret’s painting. This leads to the conclusion that the present portrait was executed by a French artist active in the late seventeenth century, who took as his inspiration Nocret’s Madame de Ludres, but was likely commissioned to paint this portrait for another French aristocratic lady, who wished to be portrayed as the Magdalene.
