EDITORS COMMENTS
Jacques Etienne Caumartin (1760-1825): A Prominent French Statesman and Deputy from the Cote d'Or This evocative portrait captures the distinguished visage of Jacques Etienne Caumartin, a French statesman and deputy representing the Cote d'Or, or Burgundy, during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Born in Dijon, the capital city of Burgundy, Caumartin rose to prominence as a political figure during a pivotal period in French history. During the French Revolution, Caumartin served as a deputy in the National Convention, where he played a crucial role in drafting the French Civil Constitution of the Clergy, which effectively severed the ties between the French Church and the Pope. He was also a vocal advocate for the separation of powers and the establishment of a constitutional monarchy. Despite his revolutionary fervor, Caumartin was not a radical. He believed in the importance of maintaining social order and preserving the rights of property owners. This moderate stance earned him the respect of many of his contemporaries and helped him to navigate the tumultuous political landscape of the time. After the fall of Robespierre and the Reign of Terror, Caumartin continued to serve as a deputy in the Council of Five Hundred and the Chamber of Deputies. He was a key figure in the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy and the drafting of the Charter of 1814, which established a constitutional monarchy under King Louis XVIII. This portrait, with its solemn expression and formal attire, captures the seriousness and gravitas of a man who dedicated his life to shaping the political destiny of his country. Caumartin's legacy as a statesman and deputy from the Cote d'Or remains an important chapter in the history of France.
