EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print depicts Gaston de Foix, Duc de Némours (1489-1512), a prominent French soldier of the late Middle Ages. Born into the powerful House of Foix, Gaston was the eldest son of Pierre II, Duke of Nemours and his wife, Jeanne de Foix. He began his military career at a young age, serving under King Louis XII of France in Italy. Gaston's first major military success came in 1504, when he led a successful campaign against the Swiss Confederacy in the Battle of Novara. His military prowess continued to be showcased in various battles throughout Italy, including the Battle of Ravenna in 1512, where he was tragically killed in action at the age of 23. This print captures Gaston in his prime, dressed in full armor and holding a sword and shield. His intense gaze and determined expression convey the fierce warrior spirit that made him a formidable opponent on the battlefield. The intricate details of his armor and the rich colors of the print serve to highlight the artistry and craftsmanship of the time. Gaston de Foix's legacy as a French soldier and military leader is an important chapter in the history of the late Middle Ages. His successes on the battlefield helped to secure French territories in Italy and solidify the power of the French monarchy. This print serves as a testament to his bravery and the impact he had on the political landscape of the time.
