EDITORS COMMENTS
François Joseph Lefebvre, Duke of Dantzig, Marshal of France (1755-1820), is depicted in this stunning oil on canvas portrait painted by Cesarine Davin in 1807. The interior setting of the painting transports us to the grandeur of the French court during the Napoleonic era. The Duke, dressed in his military uniform adorned with numerous decorations, gazes out at the viewer with a confident and resolute expression. His posture and the elegant pose of his hand on the sword hilt further emphasize his military prowess and high rank. The interior of the room is richly furnished, with ornate wallpaper, heavy velvet curtains, and a luxurious carpet underfoot. The warm color palette, with its rich reds, golds, and browns, adds to the sense of opulence and grandeur. The painting is currently housed in the National Museum of Versailles, a fitting location for this iconic image of a prominent French military leader. Cesarine Davin was a skilled painter of portraits, and this work showcases her ability to capture the likeness and personality of her subject, as well as the intricacies of the interior setting. The vertical composition of the painting, with its emphasis on the Duke's figure, further highlights his importance and status. Overall, this portrait of François Joseph Lefebvre is a testament to the artistic and historical significance of the French court during the Napoleonic era.
