EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas portrait depicts Charles Armand Tretin, the Marquis de la Rouerie, a prominent figure in both American and French history. Painted by renowned artist Charles Willson Peale, this artwork showcases the noble and distinguished presence of the Marquis. Tretin's life was marked by his involvement in significant events such as the American War of Independence. After fighting alongside American forces, he returned to France where he founded the Breton Association. This association played a crucial role in instigating an insurrection during 1791-92. In this painting, Tretin is portrayed wearing a striking bearskin uniform that exudes power and authority. His gaze is intense yet thoughtful, reflecting his strong character and determination. The attention to detail in capturing every feature of his face adds depth and realism to the artwork. Displayed at the Philadelphia History Museum at the Atwater Kent, this print allows viewers to appreciate Peale's masterful brushwork while also gaining insight into an influential historical figure. The Historical Society of Pennsylvania Collection has graciously provided access to this piece for public enjoyment. As we admire this remarkable portrait, we are reminded of Tretin's significant contributions to both America and France. Through artistry and historical context combined, we can delve into a moment frozen in time that encapsulates bravery, leadership, and revolution.
