1739 1823 Circular Dumouriez Duplessis Francois Perier
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the profile of General Charles-Francois Dumouriez (1739-1823), a pivotal figure in the French Revolution. Dumouriez, also known as the Marquis de Rousset and the Comte de Lamballe, served as a military commander during the Revolution and played a significant role in the early stages of the French Revolutionary Wars. The image, produced in 1823, shows Dumouriez in a thoughtful and introspective pose, with a circular medallion framing his face. He is dressed in the uniform of a French general, complete with a tricorn hat adorned with a plume, and a sash bearing the fleur-de-lis insignia. In the background, a carriage with two horses is visible, suggesting that the general may be on the move, ready to lead his troops into battle. Surrounding Dumouriez are a group of soldiers, their faces obscured by the shadows cast by the general's hat and the dim lighting of the scene. Their presence underscores the importance of military leadership during this tumultuous period in French history. Duplessis, also known as Charles-Francois Du Perier, was a complex and controversial figure. He was a key player in the overthrow of the monarchy in 1789, but later defected to the Austrian forces during the Revolutionary Wars. This betrayal led to his downfall, and he was ultimately executed by the French authorities in 1796. Despite his controversial legacy, this portrait captures the essence of a man who played a significant role in shaping the course of French history. The circular medallion and the general's introspective pose add a sense of mystery and intrigue to the image, making it a compelling and thought-provoking depiction of a pivotal historical figure.
