EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the enigmatic figure of François, Marquis de Barbe-Marbois (1745-1837), a pivotal French statesman of the late 18th century. Marquis de Barbe-Marbois is best remembered in history for his role in the Louisiana Purchase, an event that significantly altered the geopolitical landscape of North America. Born in Paris, France, Marquis de Barbe-Marbois began his political career under the tutelage of influential figures such as Turgot and Vergennes. He served various diplomatic posts in Europe and the Americas before being appointed as the French Minister to the United States in 1801. During his tenure in the United States, he played a crucial role in negotiating the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. This historic transaction saw France sell the vast territory of Louisiana, which encompassed 828,000 square miles, to the United States for $15 million. The Louisiana Purchase was a turning point in American history, as it doubled the size of the United States and provided the country with valuable natural resources and strategic territory. Marquis de Barbe-Marbois' diplomatic skills and foresight proved invaluable in securing this deal, which has left an indelible mark on the history of both France and the United States. This portrait, created in 1837, captures the Marquis de Barbe-Marbois in his later years, with a thoughtful and introspective expression. His attire, consisting of a formal waistcoat and cravat, reflects the elegance and refinement of the French aristocracy. The portrait serves as a testament to the Marquis' enduring legacy as a statesman and diplomat, whose actions continue to shape the course of history.
