EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting 19th-century engraving depicts Jean de Poitiers, Lord of Saint Vallier, a figure shrouded in mystery and intrigue. A trusted captain of the guards to Charles de Bourbon, he found himself embroiled in a deadly plot against King Francis I of France in 1524. The consequences were dire - condemned to death for his alleged involvement in treason.
The artist has captured the essence of torment and despair on Jean de Poitiers' face as he faces his impending fate. His eyes betray a mix of resignation and defiance, perhaps grappling with the weight of his actions and their inevitable repercussions.
In this black-and-white portrayal, we are transported back to a tumultuous period in French history, where political machinations often led to swift and merciless justice. Jean de Poitiers stands as a tragic figure caught up in the turbulent currents of power struggles and betrayal.
As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the fragility of human existence and the high stakes involved in matters of loyalty and allegiance. Jean de Poitiers serves as a poignant reminder that even those closest to power can fall from grace with devastating consequences.
