Andre-Hercule de Fleury (1653-1743): A Vertical Portrait of the Chief Minister of Louis XV's France This engraving captures the likeness of Andre-Hercule de Fleury, a prominent French figure during the reign of King Louis XV. Born in 1653, Fleury rose to prominence as a clergyman and eventually became the chief minister of France in 1726. He held this position until his death in 1743. Fleury's influence over French politics was significant, and he played a crucial role in shaping the country's domestic and foreign policies. He was known for his political acumen and his ability to navigate the complex web of French court politics. In this vertical portrait, Fleury is depicted as a distinguished Frenchman, dressed in the robes of a cardinal. His regal attire and serious expression convey a sense of authority and wisdom. The engraving also features a group of French men and women in the background, perhaps representing the various factions and interests that Fleury would have dealt with during his tenure as chief minister. The engraving's white background serves to highlight Fleury's image and emphasize his importance as a historical figure. The vertical orientation of the portrait adds to the sense of grandeur and importance, making it a fitting representation of Fleury's significant role in French history. Andre-Hercule de Fleury's legacy as a French cardinal and chief minister continues to be studied by historians and scholars, making this engraving an essential addition to any collection of French portraits or historical documents.
