EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait is believed to depict Georges Cadoudal (1771-1804), a prominent Chouan leader and conspirator during the French Revolution. The exact date of this painting is uncertain, but it is estimated to have been created between 1795 and 1805. The subject wears the traditional Chouan attire, consisting of a long, voluminous coat, a high collar, and a tricorn hat. The richly textured canvas material and the meticulous application of oil paint give the portrait a sense of grandeur and historical significance. Cadoudal, a French nobleman, rose to prominence as a leader of the counter-revolutionary Chouan rebellion in the western regions of France. Known for his political cunning and military prowess, he led numerous uprisings against the French Republic, seeking to restore the monarchy. The portrait captures Cadoudal in a thoughtful, introspective moment, with his gaze directed away from the viewer, suggesting a deep contemplation of the political and military strategies that would shape his future actions. The portrait is part of the extensive collection of the Carnavalet Museum in Paris, one of the city's most esteemed institutions dedicated to preserving the history and heritage of Paris and France. The painting's historical and political significance, combined with its exquisite craftsmanship, make it an invaluable addition to the museum's holdings and a testament to the tumultuous period of the French Revolution.
