EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating portrait print of James Fitzjames, the 1st Duke of Berwick, transports us back to a time of grandeur and intrigue. Engraved by Roger in 1787 and published as part of the esteemed "Portraits des grands hommes" collection, this color lithograph showcases Antoine Louis Francois Sergent-Marceau's artistic prowess. James Fitzjames, an illegitimate son born to James II and Arabella Churchill, possessed a remarkable lineage that intertwined with European royalty. His life was marked by military exploits and political alliances. From his participation in the ill-fated invasion of Ireland to his valiant efforts during the War of Spanish Succession, Fitzjames proved himself as a formidable warrior. Tragically meeting his demise at Philippsburg during the War of Polish Succession when struck by a cannonball, Fitzjames left behind an indelible legacy. As Duke of Liria and Xerica and Knight of the Golden Fleece, he embodied aristocracy in its truest form. This exquisite portrait captures not only his noble countenance but also hints at his prestigious titles through subtle symbols such as coat-of-arms and insignias like the Toison d'Or (Golden Fleece). The oval frame adds an air of elegance while emphasizing his status as a grandee both in Spain and France. Preserved within private collections for centuries before being made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this print offers viewers
