EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Portrait of John of Orleans, Count of Dunois" takes us back to the 18th century. The image showcases a distinguished gentleman with an air of mystery surrounding him. John of Orleans, also known as the Bastard of Orleans, was the illegitimate son of Louis d'Orleans and Mariette d'Enghien. The artist from the English School has masterfully captured his subject's half-length portrait. John's countenance exudes confidence and intelligence as he gazes directly at the viewer. His attire reflects the fashions prevalent during that era, with particular attention given to his exquisite headgear - a symbol of his noble status. As we delve deeper into this print, we are transported to a time when lineage and legitimacy played significant roles in society. Despite being born out of wedlock, John rose above societal expectations and became known for his military prowess as Count of Dunois. This artwork not only serves as a visual representation but also offers glimpses into historical narratives surrounding power dynamics and personal achievements. It is through such prints that we can appreciate both artistic skill and gain insights into past lives lived by remarkable individuals like John of Orleans.
