EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the essence of Henri, Duc de Joyeuse, also known as Father Angelus. The 17th-century French School artist skillfully portrays this historical figure in a three-quarter length portrait. As we gaze upon the print, we are transported back in time to witness the transformation of a nobleman into a humble monk. Henri, Duc de Joyeuse's life was marked by both conflict and devotion. Having dedicated himself to the Franciscan Order of Capuchins, he embarked on a spiritual journey that led him away from his aristocratic roots and towards a life of prayer and preaching. Prior to embracing his religious calling, he had valiantly fought against the Huguenots during his early years. The engraving showcases Father Angelus deep in prayer, with a crucifix held close to his heart. His long beard adds an air of wisdom and reverence to his countenance while emphasizing his commitment to asceticism. With eyes closed in contemplation, it is evident that Father Angelus finds solace within these sacred moments. As we admire this artwork from Fine Art Finder's private collection, let us reflect on the profound impact individuals like Henri have had throughout history. Their unwavering faith and dedication serve as an inspiration for all who seek spiritual enlightenment or strive for personal growth amidst adversity.
