Portrait of the Comte de La Couldre de La Bretonniere - A Glimpse into Naval Aristocracy
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This portrait, created by Robert Lefevre in the late 18th or early 19th century, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of naval aristocracy. The subject of this oil on canvas masterpiece is none other than the esteemed Comte de La Couldre de La Bretonniere, a renowned naval commander at Cherbourg. Dressed in his resplendent navy captain uniform, adorned with intricate gold brocade and meticulously styled wig, the count exudes an air of authority and sophistication. His piercing gaze captures both strength and wisdom acquired through years spent commanding ships at sea. In one hand, he holds a scroll symbolizing his noble lineage and accomplishments. In the other hand rests a map, perhaps representing his strategic prowess as a leader navigating uncharted waters. These details serve to further emphasize his significance within naval circles. The artist's skillful brushstrokes bring out every nuance of expression on the count's face - from pride to determination - making it clear that this is not just any ordinary portrait but rather an homage to an influential figure in history. Now housed in Musee d'Art Thomas Henry in Cherbourg, France, this print allows us to appreciate firsthand the artistry behind Lefevre's work while also providing insight into an era when aristocracy played a significant role in shaping society.
