The messengers were also overworked, running back-and-forth all morning in the Rion Relay. As their footsteps echoed while dashing through the vast gallery where Ruben’s Medici paintings were hung, they must have looked up at Hermes in “Education of the Princess” and wished for his wings. If these servants had been around for the French Revolution later in the century, they probably would have thought the guillotine was too good for the Duchess and her likes. Apparently the Duchess’s culinary staff had it no easier, because by all reports she was as infatuated with food as she was with Rion. Princess Palatine described her “frightful gluttony”with these words: “Every evening she sits down to table at eight or nine o’ clock, and eats till three o’clock in the morning.” It got to the point, Williams tells us, that she sold all her saddle horses because “even a quiet canter in the Bois de Boulogne could not be indulged without discomfort.” I assume Williams is referring to the Duchess’s discomfort, but what about the poor horses bearing the burden? After pissing off the citizens of Paris for closing the Luxembourg Gardens, at least she made her horses happy by letting them get out from under her weight. One might suspect that after late-night binging, some of her clothes would no longer fit her. So there could have been a silver-embroidered lining to her weight gain if it limited the number of paces that Rion could put her through. Just as inexplicably as the Duchess submitted to the will of Rion, and while still under his spell, one day this profoundly irreligious woman suddenly acquired a getaway apartment at the Carmelite convent in the Faubourg Saint-Jacques. She then divided her time, doubtless to the relief of her servants, between the palace and convent. Though her motivation for this move has puzzled historians, I have my own theory. How could she not admire and even envy the good sisters for wearing the same plain habit every single day? Although, like the Duchess, they wore what they were told to wear, at least they were spared the shenanigans of being told to wear something different just after getting dressed. But then, why did she return to the demands of her palace life, even for limited periods? I’m no expert on the daily life of Carmelite nuns in 18th-century France, but I’m quite sure their dinners didn’t last for six hours. For you can fault the Duchess for letting a man control her so completely, but unlike many more “liberated” women today, she was never one to starve herself for fashion. n FALL 2016
