EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Benoit, Comte de Boigne: A French-Savoie Soldier and Philanthropist 2. Subtitle: A Portrait of Benoit, Comte de Boigne (1741-1830), an Eminent Soldier and Philanthropist, Married to Anne Osmond of London 3. Description: This evocative portrait captures the enigmatic figure of Benoit, Comte de Boigne (1741-1830), a French-Savoie soldier and philanthropist, who made a significant impact on European society during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Born in Savoie, a region located in the Alps between France and Italy, Boigne rose to prominence as a military commander, serving under the French monarchy during the Seven Years' War and the French Revolutionary Wars. However, Boigne's legacy extends beyond the battlefield. In 1781, he married Anne Osmond, a wealthy Englishwoman, and together they embarked on a philanthropic endeavor that would transform the lives of countless individuals. The couple established the Hôpital de la Charité in Paris, which provided medical care, education, and shelter to the city's destitute population. Their efforts also extended to the arts, as they supported the careers of numerous artists, writers, and musicians. Boigne's military achievements and philanthropic endeavors earned him the admiration of his contemporaries, as well as the respect of future generations. This portrait, likely taken during his later years, captures the wisdom and gravitas of a man who dedicated his life to serving his country and improving the lives of those in need. 4.
