1756 1826 Antoine Auto Graph Comte Francois Revolution Surviving Boissy
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the venerable visage of François-Antoine, Comte de Boissy d'Anglas (1756-1826), a French statesman who defied the odds and survived the tumultuous era of the French Revolution. Boissy d'Anglas, a man of great intellect and political acumen, served as the President of the Council of Ministers under King Louis XVIII, playing a pivotal role in the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy. The image captures the distinguished gentleman in later life, with deep-set eyes that betray a wealth of experience and a furrowed brow that speaks of the weight of responsibility he bore. The autograph inscription below the portrait, penned by the subject himself, adds an intriguing personal touch to the piece, further underscoring its historical significance. Boissy d'Anglas' survival of the Revolution was no small feat. Having served as a high-ranking officer in the Royal Army, he was forced to flee France after the fall of the monarchy in 1792. He spent the next decade in exile, living in various European courts before returning to France in 1802. Despite his absence, he remained a respected figure in French political circles, and when the Bourbons were restored to power in 1814, he was called upon to serve his country once more. This poignant portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a man who witnessed and shaped some of the most pivotal moments in French history. It serves as a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit, and the enduring power of personal determination in the face of adversity.
