Colonel Morrison Possibly in the Uniform of the Royal Engineers, a Fortified Town Behind
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures Colonel Morrison, possibly dressed in the uniform of the Royal Engineers, against the backdrop of a fortified town. Created by Louis de Carmontelle in 1768, this black lead, red chalk, and watercolor masterpiece measures 30x17.7 cm and is part of a private collection. Colonel George Morrison (ca. 1704-1799) served as equerry to Edward, Duke of York and accompanied him on his journey to France in 1767. In this portrait, he stands confidently with solemnity befitting his military rank. The fortification behind him adds an air of grandeur and historical significance to the scene. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from Colonel Morrison's distinguished attire to his self-assured posture. The vibrant colors bring life to this late eighteenth-century piece while capturing the essence of French art during that era. With its coastal setting and old-world charm, this artwork transports viewers back in time to an age when fortresses guarded cities along shorelines. It serves as a testament not only to Colonel Morrison's role within the Royal Engineers but also as a reminder of Europe's rich history. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this work through their expert photography skills for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its beauty today. This photograph showcases Carmontelle's talent while offering us a glimpse into an important period marked by military prowess and architectural marvels.
