1. Hercule-Méradec de Rohan, Duke of Rohan-Rohan (1669-1749): A Regal Portrait in Historical Context This handcoloured lithograph depicts Hercule-Méradec de Rohan, Duke of Rohan-Rohan, also known as "Le Prince de Rohan," in his ceremonial robes for the coronation of King Louis XV of France in 1722. The Duke, born on October 16, 1669, was a prominent figure in the French court during the Regency and the reign of Louis XV. The Duke of Rohan-Rohan was a member of the illustrious House of Rohan, a noble family of Breton origin that held significant influence in French politics and the military. He served as Grand Master of the Artillery and Infantry of France, a position that placed him among the highest ranks of the French military hierarchy. The portrait, taken from Roger de Gaignières gallery portfolio X in the collection "Costumes Historiques de la France" by Bibliophile Jacob, also known as Paul Lacroix, showcases the Duke's grandeur and elegance. The intricately designed robes, adorned with gold embroidery and rich fabrics, reflect the opulence of the French court during this period. The Duke's regal bearing and the meticulous attention to detail in the lithograph further emphasize his importance and status. The Duke of Rohan-Rohan's career was marked by numerous military campaigns and diplomatic missions, both in France and abroad. He played a crucial role in the War of the Spanish Succession and the War of the Polish Succession. His military prowess and diplomatic skills earned him the respect and admiration of his contemporaries, making him a significant figure in French history. This stunning handcoloured lithograph not only offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the French court during the reign of Louis XV but also serves as a testament to the remarkable life and career of Hercule-Méradec de Rohan, Duke of Rohan-Rohan.
