EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative oval print captures the intense and complex character of Louis II, Duke of Bourbon, also known as the 'Grand Conde' (1621-1686). Born into the French nobility, Louis rose to prominence as a military leader during the Thirty Years' War in Europe. His long, wavy hair and piercing gaze are evident in this striking profile portrait, which underscores his charisma and determination. Born in 1621, Louis II was a key figure in the French military during the Thirty Years' War, a devastating conflict that raged across Europe from 1618 to 1648. A rebel at heart, he frequently clashed with the central authority of the French monarchy, leading to a series of rebellions and exiles. Despite his turbulent relationship with the crown, Louis remained a formidable military commander, leading his troops with great success on the battlefield. This print offers a glimpse into the enigmatic personality of the Grand Conde. His piercing gaze and expressive features suggest a man of deep conviction and strong will, who was not afraid to challenge the status quo. The intricately detailed design of the print further emphasizes the historical significance of this important figure in European history. Louis II, Duke of Bourbon, died in 1686, leaving behind a complex and fascinating legacy. His military prowess, rebellious spirit, and charismatic personality continue to captivate historians and scholars to this day. This beautiful print serves as a testament to his enduring impact on European history and the intrigue of the past.
