1675 1712 Aristocracy Aristocrat Baron Curly Duellist Gambler Noted Peer Rake Mohun
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the enigmatic figure of Charles Mohun, 4th Baron Mohun (1675-1712), an English politician, duellist, and notorious rake of the aristocracy. The image, dated around 1690, depicts Mohun in the prime of his life, with a curly wig framing his sharp features and piercing gaze. As a member of the House of Lords, Mohun was a noted peer and aristocrat, known for his political acumen and debonair charm. However, his reputation was also tarnished by his penchant for gambling and dueling, two pastimes that were all too common among the elite of the time. Despite his questionable behavior, Mohun's charisma and connections made him a popular figure in high society. He was known to be a generous host and a skilled dancer, and his wit and charm were said to be unmatched. However, his hot-headed temper often led him into dangerous situations, most notably in the dueling ring. Mohun was involved in numerous duels throughout his life, some of which were fought over matters of honor, while others were simply for sport. Despite the risks, Mohun's love for the thrill of the duel never waned. He was a master of the rapier, and his skill in the ring was legendary. This portrait, with its dramatic lighting and intense expression, captures the essence of Mohun's complex character - a man of power, charm, and danger, who lived life on his own terms.
