EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished figure of Jean Baptiste de Valbelle, taken from the renowned collection "Portraits des grands hommes, femmes illustres et sujets memorables de France". Created by Antoine Louis Francois Sergent-Marceau and published by Pierre Blin between 1786-92 in Paris, this color engraving exudes a sense of timeless elegance. Jean Baptiste de Valbelle, a prominent French Navy Squadron Commodore of French Naval Marines during the 17th century, is depicted here with utmost regality. Adorned with the Cross of Malta upon his chest, he earned himself the moniker "The Tiger" due to his fierce determination and bravery on the battlefield. The artist has masterfully captured Valbelle's commanding presence through an intricately detailed bust portrait. The oval frame adds a touch of refinement to this depiction while emphasizing his noble stature as an officer. Every stroke in this engraving speaks volumes about Valbelle's dedication to serving his country and protecting its maritime interests. Displayed within a private collection today, this artwork from The Stapleton Collection offers us a glimpse into history—a testament to the valor and heroism embodied by individuals like Jean Baptiste de Valbelle. As we observe this remarkable piece, we are reminded not only of its artistic beauty but also of the indelible mark left behind by those who have shaped our world.
