- Title
«Ma vive douleur»: una lettera di Anna d’Orléans ad una dama accompagna il dono di un suo ritratto.
- Authors
Reineri, Maria Teresa
- Abstract
A seventeenth-century unsigned letter, found on the antiques market and attributed to Anne Marie d’Orléans, Duchess of Savoy, required a lot of study to ascertain the correct attribution, date it, and identify the cause of the “heartfelt grief” it mentions. The author demonstrates that the source of this pain was the tragic death of Marie Louise of Orleans, Queen of Spain, Anne-Marie’s only sister, which occurred in Madrid in February 1689 and that the letter was written in April of the following year, in 1690. Accompanied by her portrait, the letter was addressed by the duchess to her former housekeeper.
