EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the distinguished visage of Etienne Chevalier, a pivotal figure in French political history during the reigns of Charles VII and Louis XI. Born around 1410, Chevalier rose to prominence as a skilled diplomat and statesman, serving his country with unwavering dedication and acumen. During the Hundred Years War between England and France, Chevalier's diplomatic prowess was put to the test as he was dispatched as an ambassador to England and later to Italy. In England, he negotiated a truce with Henry VI in 1441, providing a brief respite from the ongoing conflict. In Italy, he played a crucial role in securing an alliance with Milan and maintaining French influence in the peninsula. Chevalier's diplomatic successes were not limited to the European stage. He also played a significant role in the peace negotiations between France and Burgundy, which led to the signing of the Treaty of Conflans in 1465. His diplomatic efforts helped to maintain the balance of power in Europe during a tumultuous period and solidified France's position as a major European power. This image of Etienne Chevalier, with his piercing gaze and elegant attire, serves as a testament to his diplomatic skills and the vital role he played in French history. Dating from the late 15th century, this portrait is a precious reminder of a time when diplomacy and statesmanship were key to shaping the political landscape of Europe.
