EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Gaston, Duc d Orleans, a prominent figure in French history during the 17th century. Serving as the commander of the armies under Louis XIII of France from 1882 to 1884, Gaston was not only a military leader but also an intriguing political player. Born in 1608 as the third son of Henry IV of France and older brother to Louis XIII, his life was marked by constant involvement in political intrigues. The portrait captures Gaston's regal presence and noble stature. Dressed in exquisite period attire, he dons a collar adorned with delicate lace that adds an air of elegance to his appearance. With long flowing hair and a commanding gaze, he exudes authority and confidence befitting his role as a prince. This engraving is part of La France et les Francais a Travers les Siecles (France and the French throughout Centuries), Volume IV edited by F Roy and published by A Challamel in Saint-Antoine between 1882-1884. It offers us a glimpse into this significant historical era when wars were fought on European soil. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry, we are transported back to seventeenth-century France—a time when power struggles shaped destinies and royal bloodlines determined fates. This print serves as both an homage to Gaston's influential position within society and as a testament to the rich tapestry that is French history.
