"Mother Angelique Arnauld, Abbess of Port-Royal" is a notable oil painting by the French Baroque artist Philippe de Champaigne, created in 1650. The painting is a portrait of Jacqueline Marie Angélique Arnauld, also known as Mère Angélique, who was the abbess of the Cistercian convent of Port-Royal des Champs, near Paris. Mère Angélique was a prominent figure in the Catholic reform movement of the 17th century and played a significant role in the Jansenist controversy within the Catholic Church.

The portrait is a testament to the austere and devout character of Mother Angelique, reflecting the religious and moral reforms she implemented at Port-Royal. Philippe de Champaigne, who had close ties with Port-Royal and the Jansenist movement, captures the spiritual intensity and the reformist zeal of the abbess with a stark realism that was characteristic of his work. The painting is noted for its somber palette, the direct gaze of Mother Angelique, and the simplicity of her habit, which all serve to emphasize her piety and dedication to the monastic life.

The artwork holds significant historical and artistic value, as it not only represents the artistic skill of de Champaigne but also provides insight into the religious climate of 17th-century France and the influence of Jansenism. The painting is often discussed in the context of the relationship between art and religion during the period, as well as the role of women in religious reform.

"Mother Angelique Arnauld, Abbess of Port-Royal" is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be an object of study for art historians and a point of interest for visitors interested in the intersection of French art, religion, and history.
