EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the intense and determined gaze of Antoine Charles Louis Collinet, Comte de Lasalle, a French military commander who played a significant role in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Born in 1775, Lasalle rose through the ranks of the French military, distinguishing himself in various battles during the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars. The image, created by the renowned French artist Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres under the title "Portrait of General Count Antoine Charles Louis Collinet, Comte de Lasalle," showcases Lasalle's military prowess and leadership abilities. Dressed in the uniform of a French general, Lasalle's posture exudes confidence and authority. His piercing eyes seem to gaze intently into the distance, suggesting a man focused on a strategic mission or deep in thought. Lasalle's military career began in 1792 when he joined the French army as a volunteer. He quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a captain in 1793 and a general in 1800. During the Napoleonic Wars, he served under the command of Napoleon Bonaparte and participated in several key battles, including the Battle of Austerlitz and the Battle of Wagram. Despite his military successes, Lasalle's life was cut short when he was killed in action during the Battle of Wagram in 1809. His death marked the end of a promising military career and left a lasting impact on the French military establishment. This portrait, created in the early 19th century, serves as a testament to Lasalle's military achievements and enduring legacy. The intricate details of Lasalle's uniform, the rich colors, and the intense expression on his face all contribute to a captivating and historically significant image.
