"Portrait of Queen Mary of Modena with Prince James Stuart" is a historical painting by the Italian Baroque artist Benedetto Gennari II. The artwork, dating from the late 17th century, captures Mary of Modena, who was the queen consort of England, Scotland, and Ireland as the wife of James II and VII, alongside her son, James Francis Edward Stuart, also known as the Old Pretender. Gennari, who was active in the court of the Stuarts during their exile in France following the Glorious Revolution, created this intimate portrait during a period of turmoil and uncertainty for the royal family.

The painting is significant for its depiction of the exiled queen and her son during a critical moment in their lives, as well as for its artistic merit. Mary of Modena is portrayed with dignity and grace, reflecting her status as a queen despite her exile, while the young prince is depicted with the innocence of childhood, unaware of the heavy burden of claims to the thrones of England, Scotland, and Ireland that he would carry into adulthood.

Benedetto Gennari II was a member of a prominent family of artists from Bologna and had established himself as a court painter to the Stuarts during their time in France. His work is characterized by its adherence to the Baroque style, with a focus on rich coloration, emotional depth, and dynamic composition. The "Portrait of Queen Mary of Modena with Prince James Stuart" exemplifies Gennari's skill in portraiture and his ability to capture the personal and political nuances of his subjects.

The painting serves not only as a work of art but also as a visual document of the Jacobite claim to the British throne, which continued to be a point of contention throughout the 18th century. Today, the portrait is an important artifact for both art historians and scholars of British history, offering insight into the cultural and political landscape of the time.
