EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "César, comte de Choiseul, comte de Plessis-Praslin, Marechal de France (1598-1675)" 2. Description: This evocative portrait captures the noble and resolute visage of César, comte de Choiseul, comte de Plessis-Praslin, Marechal de France, a prominent figure in the political and military landscape of 17th-century France. Born in 1598, Choiseul rose to prominence under the reign of Louis XIII and became a trusted advisor and military commander under the Sun King, Louis XIV. The image showcases Choiseul's distinguished appearance, with his well-groomed beard, piercing gaze, and elegant attire adorned with the insignia of his high rank. The Marechal de France was a prestigious military title, granted to the commander-in-chief of the French army, and Choiseul's bearing exudes the confidence and authority befitting his position. Choiseul's military career was marked by numerous victories, including the Battle of Rocroi in 1643, which solidified his reputation as a formidable commander. He also played a crucial role in the Fronde rebellion, a period of civil unrest in France during the late 1640s and early 1650s. Despite his military prowess, Choiseul was also known for his diplomatic skills, and he played a key role in negotiating peace treaties with various European powers. Choiseul's legacy extended beyond his military and political achievements. He was a patron of the arts and supported the development of the Château de Chantilly, which became a center for the arts and sciences. The count's patronage helped to establish Chantilly as a cultural hub and a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Ancien Régime. This portrait of César, comte de Choiseul, offers a glimpse into the life of a man who played a significant role in shaping the political and cultural landscape of 17th-century France. His legacy continues to resonate, and this image serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of the Marechal de France on French history.
