EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of Count Charles de Mornay, 1837" showcases the remarkable talent of French artist Ferdinand Victor Eugene Delacroix. Painted with oil on canvas, this masterpiece measures 100 x 81 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, CT. The subject of this striking piece is none other than Count Charles de Mornay himself. A prominent figure in French history, he was a statesman and held the esteemed title of 1st Duke of Morny. Born in Paris in 1811, he was not only half-brother to Emperor Napoleon III but also the grandson of Talleyrand. Delacroix's skillful brushwork captures every intricate detail of Count Charles de Mornay's appearance. With his sideburns neatly groomed and a scarf elegantly draped around his neck, the count exudes an air of sophistication and refinement. His piercing gaze suggests intelligence and authority as he sits confidently before us. This painting exemplifies the essence of Romanticism through its emphasis on individual expression and emotional intensity. The composition draws our attention directly to the count himself while showcasing elements such as sideboards that add depth to the scene. As we admire this remarkable work by Delacroix, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever – capturing both the physical likeness and inner spirit of one influential man from France's past.
