EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Denis Decres, a prominent figure in French history. Engraved by Lanvin in 1813, this print showcases Decres' commanding presence as Minister of Marine and the Colonies during the Consulate and First Empire eras. Denis Decres was not only an esteemed count and duke but also an admiral, prefect, and officer in the French navy. His distinguished career earned him numerous accolades, including being awarded the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour. This portrait beautifully displays his sash adorned with medals that symbolize his bravery and dedication to serving his country. However, behind this remarkable image lies a tragic fate. Decres was assassinated in 1820 at the age of 59, leaving a void in both France's maritime affairs and its collective memory. Le Suire's engraving skillfully captures every detail of Decres' bust - from his stern expression to his dignified posture - allowing us to glimpse into the life of this influential figure. Preserved at Musee de la Marine in Paris, France, this artwork serves as a testament to Decres' significant contributions during one of France's most tumultuous periods: The Napoleonic era. As we admire this historical artifact captured through photography by Justine Le Suire (b. 1753), let us remember Denis Decres for his unwavering commitment to duty and honor within the French navy.
