EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the intense gaze and strong character of General and Politician, Georges-Ernest-Jean-Marie Boulanger (1837-1891). Known as "Le Lion de Belfort" or "The Lion of Belfort," Boulanger rose to prominence during the late 19th century in France, serving as a decorated military officer and a charismatic political figure. Boulanger's military career began in 1854, when he joined the French Army at the age of 17. He distinguished himself in the Crimean War and later in the Franco-Prussian War, where he was wounded several times and earned numerous decorations, including the Legion of Honor and the Medals of Military Valor. In the late 1880s, Boulanger turned to politics, forming the "Boulangist" movement, which aimed to restore France's military power and prestige. His popular appeal and military background made him a formidable opponent to the ruling government, and he came close to seizing power in the 1889 and 1891 elections. In this portrait, Boulanger is depicted in full military uniform, complete with epaulettes, medals, and a thick beard. His stern expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of determination and resolve. The photograph captures a pivotal moment in French history, when the country was grappling with the aftermath of the Franco-Prussian War and seeking a leader who could restore its national pride. This image of Georges-Ernest-Jean-Marie Boulanger is a powerful reminder of a complex and fascinating figure in French history, whose military prowess and political charisma continue to captivate historians and scholars to this day.
