'''Henrietta Maria of France as Flora''' is a 1742 oil painting by the French artist Jean-Marc Nattier, renowned for his portraiture and depictions of mythological themes. The painting is a posthumous portrayal of Henrietta Maria of France (1609–1669), the queen consort of England, Scotland, and Ireland as the wife of King Charles I. In this artwork, Nattier imagines the queen as Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers and the season of spring, a common allegorical subject in art that allowed for the celebration of beauty and fertility.

Henrietta Maria, the daughter of King Henry IV of France and his second wife, Marie de' Medici, was a prominent historical figure whose life was marked by the turbulence of the English Civil War and her subsequent exile. Nattier's choice to depict her as Flora is significant, as it reflects a trend in 18th-century portraiture to idealize and mythologize historical figures, particularly women of nobility. The painting is characteristic of Nattier's elegant style, which often combined the grandeur of history painting with the intimacy of portraiture.

The composition of the painting showcases Henrietta Maria adorned with floral elements and garlands, her attire and surroundings befitting the goddess's association with nature and rebirth. Nattier's skillful use of color and texture brings a sense of realism to the ethereal subject, while also serving as a symbolic representation of the queen's grace and the nostalgia for the bygone era of her reign.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of a private collection or a museum's holdings, and it continues to be an object of study for art historians interested in the Baroque period, the iconography of royalty, and the oeuvre of Jean-Marc Nattier. The artwork stands as a testament to the enduring fascination with historical figures and the power of portraiture to immortalize them in the cultural memory.
