EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Louis de Bourbon, Count of Soissons (1604-1641) 2. Description: This handcoloured lithograph showcases the striking portrait of Louis de Bourbon, Count of Soissons, a prominent figure in the French court during the 17th century. The image is an exquisite reproduction from Le Bibliophile Jacob's "Costumes Historiques de la France," published in Paris in 1852. Louis de Bourbon, born in 1604, was the son of Charles, Duke of Mayenne, and Catherine de Bourbon. He was a grandnephew of King Henry IV of France and held the title of Count of Soissons. The portrait captures him in his prime, with an air of sophistication and confidence. He is depicted wearing a richly decorated doublet, adorned with intricate lace and embroidery, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the French court during this period. The Count of Soissons was known for his military prowess and political acumen. He served in various military campaigns and held several important diplomatic roles. However, his most notable achievement was his involvement in the Fronde, a series of rebellions against Cardinal Mazarin and the French monarchy. Despite his rebellious nature, he eventually reconciled with the royal court and died in 1641. This portrait, with its intricate details and vibrant colours, offers a glimpse into the opulent world of the French court during the 17th century. It serves as a testament to the elegance and grandeur of the era, as well as the complex political landscape that shaped France during this time.
