EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Jacques de Choiseul Stainville (1719-1789), a prominent military commander in the French Army during the 18th century. Born into the noble Stainville family, Choiseul rose through the ranks of the military, eventually becoming a marshal of France. He served under King Louis XV and later Louis XVI, participating in numerous campaigns and battles throughout Europe. The image, dated 1727, captures Choiseul in his resplendent military uniform, adorned with gold braid, intricate embroidery, and a sash bearing the fleur-de-lis insignia of the French monarchy. The meticulously designed costume reflects the grandeur and opulence of the French military during this era. Choiseul's stern expression and posture exude confidence and determination, emphasizing his leadership qualities and military prowess. During his tenure as a military commander, Choiseul played a significant role in the French victories against the Austrians and Prussians, securing France's position as a major European power. He also served as a diplomat, negotiating treaties and alliances that further strengthened France's influence on the European stage. Despite his military and diplomatic successes, Choiseul's political maneuverings and ambition led to his downfall. He was dismissed from his positions and ultimately exiled, marking the end of an illustrious career. This evocative print serves as a testament to Choiseul Stainville's indelible mark on French military history and the opulence of the French Army during the 18th century.
