In this striking black and white portrait, Pierre de Weims, a diplomat and plenipotentiary from the House of Burgundy in the late 15th century, gazes directly at the viewer with an air of authority and confidence. The image, created by the renowned artist Balthasar Moncornet, captures the essence of Weims' distinguished status as a representative of the French royalty and the House of Bourgogne. The portrait, an engraving on laid paper, showcases the intricate details of Weims' facial features, from his bushy mustache to the furrowed lines on his forehead, which suggest a man of great experience and wisdom. Weims' attire, consisting of a richly textured robe and a fur-lined collar, further emphasizes his noble standing. The location of the portrait is not definitively known, but it is believed to have been created during Weims' tenure as a commissary for the French king, Louis XI. The image is now part of the esteemed collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to captivate visitors with its timeless beauty and historical significance. Moncornet's masterful use of contrast between the white and black tones adds depth and dimension to the portrait, highlighting the intricacies of the subject's features and the texture of his clothing. The direct gaze of Weims, who seems to be looking right at the viewer, adds an element of intimacy and engagement, making this portrait a true masterpiece of heritage art. Overall, this portrait of Pierre de Weims by Balthasar Moncornet is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the essence of a historical figure and preserving it for future generations to appreciate.
