EDITORS COMMENTS
This profile portrait captures the enigmatic figure of the Marquis de Brantco (Vanclure), a pioneering figure in the early history of aeronautics. The Marquis, whose full name is Jean-Pierre Blanchard de Brantome, Vancluse, was born in Cognac, France in 1750. He gained notoriety in 1784 when he undertook a historic balloon ascent with Jean-Francois Pilatre de Rozier, marking the first manned flight in Europe. Their balloon, named "The Aerostat Royal-Vauxhall," lifted off from the Champ de Mars in Paris on April 4, 1784. The Marquis' daring exploits in the realm of aeronautics continued beyond this groundbreaking achievement. In 1785, he made the first balloon flight across the English Channel, traveling from Dover to Calais. His adventures captured the imagination of the public and solidified his place in history as a visionary and intrepid explorer. This portrait, created in 1790, offers a glimpse into the Marquis de Brantco's distinguished character. The elegant attire, refined features, and piercing gaze convey a sense of determination, intelligence, and courage. The Marquis' involvement in the burgeoning field of aeronautics challenged the boundaries of human exploration and paved the way for future innovations in air travel. This portrait is part of a private collection and is an essential addition to any study of early aeronautics or the history of exploration. It serves as a testament to the Marquis de Brantco's enduring legacy and his pivotal role in shaping the future of human flight. The portrait's provenance is from the esteemed Mary Evans Prints Online, ensuring its authenticity and historical significance.
