1529 1584 Brocade Jurist Oval Seigneur Faur Larme
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite oval portrait captures the distinguished visage of Guy Du Faur, Seigneur de Pibrac (1529-1584), a renowned French jurist and poet of the Renaissance period. The image, created in 1584, showcases Du Faur's refined elegance and intellectual prowess. He is depicted wearing a rich brocade robe, signifying his noble status as a seigneur, or lord. The somber background accentuates the intensity of his gaze and the delicately placed tear, or larme, at the corner of his left eye, which adds an emotional depth to the portrait. Du Faur was a leading figure in the Parlement of Toulouse, the highest court in the Kingdom of Navarre. He was also a prolific poet, known for his works in the Occitan language, which were deeply influenced by the Petrarchan tradition. His poetry reflected the humanist ideals of the time, exploring themes of love, morality, and the passage of time. Despite his impressive legal and literary accomplishments, Du Faur's life was marked by personal tragedy. He lost his wife and several children at a young age, which is believed to have inspired the tear in this portrait. The melancholic expression on his face and the presence of the larme serve as poignant reminders of the transience of life and the enduring power of emotion. This portrait offers a glimpse into the complexities of Du Faur's life and the cultural milieu of Renaissance France. It is a testament to the enduring allure of the human spirit and the artistry of the portraitist, who skillfully captured the essence of a remarkable man.
