Abraham de Fabert (1599-1662): A Prominent Figure in French Military History This portrait showcases Abraham de Fabert, a celebrated French military commander who rose to the esteemed rank of marechal de France during the 17th century. Born in 1599, Fabert's military career began in the turbulent era of the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), where he gained valuable experience under the tutelage of renowned military leaders such as Louis XIII of France and Cardinal Richelieu. Fabert's military prowess and strategic acumen were soon recognized, and he was appointed as the governor of various French fortresses. In 1642, he led a successful campaign against the Spanish in the Roussillon region, securing an important victory for France. His military successes continued, and he was eventually promoted to the prestigious rank of marechal de France in 1652. During the Franco-Spanish War (1635-1659), Fabert played a pivotal role in several significant battles, including the Battle of Arras (1648) and the Battle of Rethel (1650). His military expertise and leadership were instrumental in securing French victories against the Spanish forces. Despite his military successes, Fabert's career was not without controversy. He was involved in several power struggles and political intrigues, which often put him at odds with other French military commanders. However, his military abilities and contributions to the French military were undeniable, and he remains an important figure in French military history. This portrait, taken from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, offers a glimpse into the life of this remarkable military commander. With his stern expression and imposing presence, Fabert's portrait reflects the strength and determination that defined his military career. The intricate details of his uniform and the elegant background further underscore the grandeur and opulence of the French military during the 17th century.
