EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Marshal Henri de La Tour d'Auvergne, Vicomte de Turenne (1611-1675), a renowned military hero and supreme commander of the Royal Army during the reign of King Louis XIV of France. The painting, created anonymously around 1650, is now part of the esteemed Collection of the Musee Carnavalet in Paris. Turenne's impressive military career spanned several significant conflicts, including the War of Devolution, the War with Spain, and the War with the Netherlands. His strategic prowess and unwavering loyalty to the French crown earned him the title of "Louis le Grand's Sword," a moniker given by King Louis XIV himself. The portrait showcases Turenne in his prime, dressed in the regal attire of the aristocracy, with an air of authority and confidence. The Baroque style, popular during this period, is evident in the rich, vibrant colors and the intricate details of the painting. The background is adorned with symbols of military victory, such as trophies and weapons, emphasizing Turenne's status as a military leader and his role in securing peace through the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648. As the Absolutist monarchy of France continued to consolidate power, the nobility, including military leaders like Turenne, played a crucial role in maintaining order and defending the kingdom. This portrait serves as a testament to the significant influence of the aristocracy during the Modern Age and the intricate interplay of power between the monarchy and the nobility.
