Jean d'Estrees, Grand Master of the French Artillery (1486-1571): A Portrait of Military Leadership and Noble Elegance This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts Jean d'Estrees, a pivotal figure in the military history of France during the Renaissance period. Born in 1486, d'Estrees rose through the ranks to become the Grand Master of the French Artillery, a position he held until his death in 1571. The image captures the essence of d'Estrees' distinguished military career and noble status. He is depicted wearing the insignia of his rank, including the collar of the Order of Saint Michael, a prestigious decoration bestowed upon him by King Henry II. The intricately designed collar is adorned with gold pendants and blue enamel, symbolizing the monarch's favour and recognition of d'Estrees' military prowess. D'Estrees' attire reflects the fashion of the late 16th century, with a high-collared, long-sleeved doublet, a voluminous farthingale, and a decorative ruff at his neck. The rich fabrics and vibrant colours convey the opulence and grandeur of the era. The portrait also reveals d'Estrees' intense gaze, suggesting a man of great focus and determination. His posture is confident and regal, further emphasizing his leadership abilities and military expertise. This image, taken from Roger de Gaignieres' portfolio VIII in Le Bibliophile Jacob's Costumes Historiques de la France, offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable figure in French history. It highlights the intersection of military strategy, noble elegance, and artistic mastery that defined the Renaissance period.
