Painting Description
Mary of Modena (1658-1718), c.1685, is a portrait painting by the Dutch-born English artist William Wissing, also known as Wissmig. This artwork captures Mary of Modena, the second wife of James II of England, during a significant period in her life when she was Queen Consort of England, Scotland, and Ireland. The painting is a prime example of the Baroque style, characterized by its dramatic use of color, light, and shadow to create a sense of depth and realism.
William Wissing, who was active in the late 17th century, was a prominent portraitist in England, known for his ability to capture the likeness and personality of his subjects with great skill. He was a pupil of Sir Peter Lely, the leading portrait painter of the time, and succeeded him as the principal painter to the royal court. Wissing's work is noted for its elegance and the subtlety with which he rendered the textures of fabrics and the delicate features of his sitters.
In this portrait, Mary of Modena is depicted with regal poise, adorned in luxurious garments that reflect her status and the fashion of the period. The rich fabrics, intricate lace, and opulent jewelry are meticulously detailed, showcasing Wissing's mastery in portraying the splendor of the aristocracy. Her serene expression and composed demeanor convey both her nobility and her role as a queen.
The painting not only serves as a historical record of Mary of Modena's appearance but also as a testament to the artistic trends and cultural values of the late 17th century. It exemplifies the Baroque fascination with grandeur and the emphasis on portraying the power and prestige of the monarchy. Today, this portrait remains an important piece of art, offering insights into the life and times of Mary of Modena and the artistic milieu of William Wissing.
