EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Valentina of Milan, 1802" by Richard Fleury Francois depicts a poignant scene filled with raw emotions. Valentina Visconti, the subject of this painting, was a Sovereign Countess of Vertus and Duchess consort of Orleans. The artist beautifully captures her grief and mourning after the death of her husband, Louis de Valois, Duke of Orleans. Seated on a window seat with tears streaming down her face, Valentina is accompanied by her loyal pet dog who provides solace in this moment of despair. The stained glass window behind her casts an ethereal emerald green glow onto the scene, adding to the atmosphere of sadness and pain. The composition is enriched by intricate details such as the drapery curtains that frame Valentina's figure and the luxurious rug beneath her feet. A scroll and book lie nearby, perhaps symbolizing both knowledge and remembrance. This remarkable artwork not only showcases Fleury Francois' mastery in capturing human emotion but also offers a glimpse into historical figures' lives. It reminds us that even those in positions of power experience profound sorrow and loss. This print serves as a testament to love's enduring nature while evoking empathy for Valentina's heart-wrenching journey through grief.
