This striking image captures Philippe Emanuel, Marquis de Coulanges (1631-1716), a prominent figure in French history during the 17th century. Known as a relative and correspondent of the renowned letter-writer, Madame de Sevigne, the Marquis is depicted here in an elaborate costume, possibly in connection with a pilgrimage. The exact date of this photograph is unknown, but it is believed to have been taken between the years 1631 and 1716. Philippe Emanuel de Coulanges was a member of an influential noble family in France. He held various important positions within the French court and was a respected diplomat. His correspondence with Madame de Sevigne provides valuable insights into the political and social climate of the time. The intricately designed costume worn by the Marquis in this photograph is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the French aristocracy during the 17th century. The elaborate fabrics, intricate embroidery, and ornate accessories all serve to highlight the wealth and status of the wearer. The pilgrimage to which the Marquis is likely referring is not explicitly stated in the photograph. However, it is known that many French nobles made pilgrimages to various religious sites throughout Europe during this period as a means of seeking spiritual enlightenment and securing divine favor. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of French nobility and the cultural practices of the time. The Marquis de Coulanges stands as a symbol of the power, wealth, and piety that defined the French aristocracy during the 17th century.
