EDITORS COMMENTS
Tommaso Francesco, Prince of Carignano: A Military Commander of the House of Savoy (1596-1656) This striking portrait depicts Tommaso Francesco, the fourth son of Carlo Emanuele I, Prince of Savoy, who held the title of Prince of Carignano. Born in 1596, Tommaso was an accomplished military commander, following in the footsteps of his esteemed father and older brothers. The image, captured by the renowned artist Anthony van Dyck (or Antonie Dyck, Dyk, or Dyke), showcases Tommaso's regal presence and military prowess. Van Dyck's masterful brushstrokes bring to life the intricate details of Tommaso's armor, emblazoned with the Savoy coat of arms, and his determined expression, reflecting the unwavering resolve of a seasoned warrior. Tommaso's military career began at a young age, and he proved himself to be a formidable commander in various battles throughout Europe. He played a significant role in the Thirty Years' War, leading the Savoy army to several victories against the French and Spanish forces. Tommaso's military successes not only strengthened the House of Savoy's position in Europe but also solidified his reputation as a capable and respected military leader. Despite his military duties, Tommaso was also known for his patronage of the arts and his diplomatic skills. He maintained a vast collection of art and supported artists, including Van Dyck, who created this portrait. Tommaso's legacy as a military commander, patron of the arts, and diplomat continues to be celebrated in the annals of Savoy history.
