EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases Alexandre Berthier, a prominent figure in French history. Born in 1753, he held the titles of Prince de Neuchatel and Marshal of France. The intricate details captured by the skilled hands of the 19th-century French School artists bring his noble presence to life. Berthier's loyalty to Napoleon Bonaparte was unwavering throughout their tumultuous era. Serving as a trusted general under Napoleon's command, he played a vital role in many military campaigns. However, after the Bourbon restoration, Berthier switched sides and pledged allegiance to Louis XVIII. The engraving portrays him with an air of authority and dignity befitting his stature. His piercing gaze reflects both wisdom and determination acquired through years on the battlefield. Donning regal attire that symbolizes his position as Duke of Wagram, this portrait immortalizes Berthier's significant contributions to French history. Tragically, Alexandre Berthier met an untimely demise during the Cent Jours campaign while stationed in Bavaria under mysterious circumstances. Despite this unfortunate end, his legacy lives on as one of Napoleon's most trusted confidants and esteemed marshals. Displayed proudly within a private collection today, this engraving serves as a testament to Berthier's remarkable life and enduring impact on France during its turbulent times. Its historical significance makes it not just an artwork but also a window into an era filled with political intrigue and military prowess.
