Philippe le Bon, also known as Philip the Good, was a prominent figure in history. He was depicted in various artworks and engravings that showcased his power and influence. One such portrayal is the oil on panel painting titled "Philip the Good, " which captures his regal presence and authority as a lord in the court of Phillip the Good. Another notable artwork is an allegorical portrait of Felipe el Bueno (Philip the Good Duke of Burgundy) by Manuel Salvador Carmona. This piece pays homage to Philippe Le Bon's role as a founder and leader during his time. Tragically, Philippe Lebon met a violent end, as illustrated in an engraving from "Les Merveilles de la Science. " The image depicts his death after being stabbed thirteen times in Champs-Elysees, serving as a reminder of both his prominence and vulnerability. His personal life is also highlighted through artistic representations. Isabelle of Portugal, Duchess of Burgundy, who was Philippe le Bon's third wife until her death in 1472, is portrayed beautifully in a handcoloured lithograph by Leopold Massard. This depiction showcases their union within historical manuscripts like Chronicles de Monstrelet. Throughout his reign as Duke of Burgundy from 1419-1467, Philip the Good made significant contributions to politics and society. His achievements were captured through various mediums such as oil paintings like Edouard Ier prete hommage à Philippe III or engravings depicting important events like Entry of Philip the Good into Ghent. The seal engraved with Philip the Good's emblem further symbolizes his authority and status during this period. Count Charolois taking leave from him emphasizes their close relationship while highlighting Philip's role not just as a ruler but also as a father figure. Lastly, an intriguing artwork dating back to around 1520/30 portrays Philip alongside Isabelle of Bourbon; however, the creator of this piece remains unknown.
