Reproductie Portret van Catherine Coustard, markiezin van Castelnau, echtgenote van Charles Éléonor Aubry met haar zoon Éléonor - Nicolas de Largillière – Boeiende introductie Het portret van Catherine Coustard, markiezin van Castelnau, echtgenote van Charles Éléonor Aubry met haar zoon Éléonor, gemaakt door Nicolas de Largillière, is een iconisch werk uit de achttiende eeuw. Dit schilderij, dat de essentie van de Franse adel van die tijd vastlegt, toont een rijkdom aan details en psychologische diepgang die de kijker onderdompelt in een wereld die zowel intiem als aristocratisch is. De compositie, waarin tederheid en waardigheid samenkomen, verwijst niet alleen naar de schoonheid van de afgebeelde onderwerpen, maar ook naar de complexiteit van familie- en sociale relaties binnen de haute société van die periode. Door dit werk te bestuderen, ontdekt men een wereld waar kunst en leven samenkomen, en de aspiraties en zorgen van een vervlogen tijd worden onthuld. Stijl en uniekheid van het werk Het werk onderscheidt zich door zijn barokke stijl, gekenmerkt door een gedurfde toepassing van licht en schaduw, die een bijna sculpturale dimensie aan de figuren verleent. Largillière, meester in portretschilderkunst, slaagt erin niet alleen de fysieke kenmerken van zijn onderwerpen vast te leggen, maar ook hun karakter en sociale status. De markiezin, gekleed in een weelderige jurk, wordt benadrukt door delicate plooien en rijke kleuren, terwijl haar zoon, onschuldig, lijkt de toekomst en hoop van een geslacht te belichamen. De compositie is zorgvuldig in balans, elk element speelt een rol in het visuele verhaal. De aanwezigheid van het kind, hoewel secundair, voegt een menselijke touch toe aan het werk en creëert een sterke emotionele band tussen moeder en zoon. Dit schilderij is zo een viering van moederschap en erfgoed, en tevens een getuigenis van het artistieke vakmanschap van zijn tijd. De kunstenaar en zijn invloed Nicolas de Largillière, geboren in 1656, is een van de meest invloedrijke schilders van zijn tijd, erkend om zijn talent als portretschilder en zijn vermogen om de Franse aristocratie te vereeuwigen. Zijn carrière, die zich uitstrekt over meerdere decennia, wordt gekenmerkt door een stilistische evolutie die de culturele en artistieke veranderingen weerspiegeltShipping Notes

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character.
*****SPOILERS*****
Pros:
The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits.
Cons:
Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks.
The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back.
*****
As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short.
Hence, 3 stars.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love.
I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.
