EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative 17th century portrait, Roger de Lorraine, Chevalier de Guise and Chevalier de Malte, proudly gazes out at the viewer with a steadfast expression, the folds of his military attire accentuating his noble stature. Born in 1624, Roger was the son of Charles de Lorraine, a prominent French nobleman, and a scion of the House of Lorraine. He would go on to make a name for himself as a brave and accomplished soldier, taking part in some of the most significant military campaigns of the era. One of Roger's most notable exploits came during the Siege of Graveline in 1644. This pivotal moment in the Thirty Years' War saw the French forces, led by the Duke of Soubise, attempting to relieve the besieged city of Graveline from the Spanish. Roger, as a young and rising military leader, played a crucial role in the defense of the French army, distinguishing himself in battle and earning the admiration of his comrades and superiors. The portrait captures the essence of a man who embodied the ideals of chivalry and honor. Roger's military career was marked by his unwavering loyalty to the French crown and his commitment to the defense of his homeland. His legacy as a soldier and a nobleman would endure long after his untimely death in 1653, leaving behind a rich historical record of a bygone era. This striking image, a testament to the artistry of the period, offers a glimpse into the life of a man who played a pivotal role in the annals of French military history. The intricate details of Roger's attire, the meticulous rendering of his facial features, and the subtle nuances of the composition all serve to transport us back to a time when valor, honor, and duty were the guiding principles of the warrior class.
