Summary

This article presents two theological theses dedicated to Queen Marie Leczinska, shortly after her marriage to Louis XV celebrated in Fontainebleau on September 4, 1725. Both are illustrated with her portrait in coronation costume engraved by Laurent Cars, who was admitted to the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture on February 26, 1729. The painting that served as the model was by Jean-Baptiste Van Loo, a painter of historical subjects and portraits and himself a member of the Academy. The first thesis was defended by Pierre-Cosme Savary de BrÃ¨ves in Paris, at the College of Navarre, on 22 January 1729 before a prestigious assembly including the Parliament, the nobility and high-ranking clergymen. The portrait was engraved at his request and he alone bore the expense, which was considerable, all the more so because of the expenses incurred in decorating the thesis room. The second thesis, of which only the upper part containing the portrait and the dedication remains, was defended in the south of France, in Arles, on 18 September 1730 by Pierre de Morand in the church of the RÃ©collets. The same copper that had been engraved for Savary de BrÃ¨ves but which had remained in the possession of the engraver was reused for this new thesis : only the name of the candidate engraved on the frame of the portrait was changed. In contrast to the previous thesis, the defence was a collective event, a tribute paid to the Queen and hence to the King, by the whole city, which financed the printing of the thesis, the decoration of the church and all the other expenses incurred. The governor of Provence and protector of the convent asked the consuls and aldermen of Arles to lend their support to the celebrations. Exceptionally rare documents of varied nature and origin, archives, prints and manuscripts each yield distinct insights into the characteristics of the defence, the engraving itself, and the importance of and motivations behind these events, for the candidate, for his family and for the city.
