"Carondelet: A Tale of History, Forts, and Streets" Step back in time to the year 1862 as we witness the Bombardment and Capture of Fort Henry, Tenn. The colour litho captures the intense moment when US Gun Boats, under Flag Officer Foote's command, seize control. In another scene titled "Capture of Fort Henry by US Gun Boats, " we see the Federal forces triumphantly taking over. The bravery and strategic prowess displayed during this engagement are truly remarkable. Moving further down history's timeline, an engraving depicts the Engagement off Fort Pillow on the Mississippi River. Confederate and Federal Gun-Boats clash in a fierce battle that echoes through time. Shifting gears from military exploits to portraits, we encounter Ferry Carondelet (1473-1528) accompanied by his Secretary. This artwork by Sebastiano del Piombo offers a glimpse into their world—a testament to their influence and power. Juan Jose Flores (1800-1864), portrayed with dignity and strength in his portrait, adds another layer to our understanding of Carondelet's rich heritage. His legacy intertwines with that of Francisco Javier Arias Davila Matheu Carondelet (1812-1890), whose name resonates throughout history. Jean De Carondelet (Eld) stands tall as a figure who left an indelible mark on society—an inspiration for generations to come. Similarly, Jean De Carondelet (Yng) carries forward this family's tradition of excellence. Jan van Somer immortalizes Ferry Carondelet once more in a stunning portrait created in 1676. Through artistry and brushstrokes, Van Somer brings forth the essence of this historical figure for all to admire. Finally, let us transport ourselves from these grand narratives onto New Orleans' vibrant streets captured c1905. On Carondelet Street itself lies a bustling cityscape, a testament to the enduring spirit of this iconic location.
