EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Nicolas Fouquet, the influential Superintendent of Finances in France during the reign of Louis XIV. Created by artist Gustave Demoulin in 1898 as part of his collection "Les Francais Illustres" this portrait showcases Fouquet's distinguished presence and powerful position within French society. Fouquet is depicted wearing elaborate clothing befitting his high-ranking role, complete with a collar that exudes elegance and sophistication. His curly hairstyle adds a touch of charm to his stern yet confident expression. The meticulously engraved details bring out every nuance, highlighting the skillful craftsmanship behind this artwork. As one gazes at this image, it becomes evident that Fouquet was not just an ordinary man but a minister who played a crucial role in shaping France's financial landscape during the 19th century. The print transports us back to a time when wigs were fashionable among men of influence, emphasizing both their status and adherence to societal norms. Gustave Demoulin's portrayal captures not only Fouquet's physical appearance but also hints at his character and importance within French history. This piece serves as a testament to both the artistic talent of Demoulin and the lasting legacy left by Nicolas Fouquet as he navigated through complex political landscapes while managing France's finances under Louis XIV's rule.
