EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Pierre de Montesquiou, Count of Artagnan, Governor of Arras. Painted by Nicolas de Largilliere in 1693, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 82x65 cm and is currently housed at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Arras, France. Montesquiou's commanding presence is evident as he stands confidently before us. Dressed in his regal armor and adorned with a red bow, he exudes power and authority. His oval-shaped portrait is framed by an intricate baroque design that adds to the overall grandeur of the piece. The artist has skillfully captured every detail - from Montesquiou's meticulously styled wig to the subtle expression on his face. The play of light and shadow further enhances the depth and realism of this remarkable artwork. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a time when nobility reigned supreme. Montesquiou's contribution as Governor of Arras echoes through history, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire admiration. This print serves as a testament to both artistic brilliance and historical significance. It allows us to appreciate not only Largilliere's talent but also Montesquiou's influential role in shaping society during his era.
