EDITORS COMMENTS
Abraham Duquesne: The Intrepid Marquis and French Naval Commander (1610-1688) This evocative image captures the indomitable spirit of Abraham Duquesne, a legendary figure in French naval history. Born in 1610, Duquesne rose through the ranks to become one of the most accomplished naval commanders of his time. The print, undated but believed to be from the late 17th century, depicts Duquesne with an air of determination and focus, as if he is pointing to the enemy or indicating the direction of his next voyage. Duquesne's naval career began in earnest during the Thirty Years' War, where he served under the renowned French admiral, Henri de Sourdis, comte de Marle. He distinguished himself in numerous battles and was awarded the title of Marquis in 1656. Over the following years, Duquesne continued to amass an impressive record of victories against the Dutch and the English, earning him the nickname "The Lion of the Sea." Despite his successes, Duquesne's tenure as a naval commander was not without controversy. He was known for his unorthodox tactics and his willingness to take risks, which sometimes put him at odds with his superiors. Nevertheless, his audacity and skill on the water proved invaluable to France during a time of intense maritime conflict. The image of Duquesne, with his hand gesturing towards the horizon, serves as a testament to his fearless leadership and unwavering commitment to the French cause. Whether he is indicating the location of the enemy, signaling the direction of the wind, or pointing towards the heads (coasts or harbors), there is no doubt that this marquis was a force to be reckoned with on the high seas. This print, from the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the life and times of one of France's most celebrated naval commanders. A true icon of French military history, Abraham Duquesne remains an enduring symbol of courage, determination, and naval prowess.
