EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the intense and enigmatic gaze of Jean de Dunois, Count of Dunois and a renowned French military commander of the 15th century. Born in 1403, Dunois rose to prominence under the tutelage of Joan of Arc, the legendary heroine who led the French army to several important victories during the Hundred Years War. Dunois' military career began in earnest when he fought alongside Joan at the Siege of Orléans in 1429, a pivotal moment in French history that saw the relief of the besieged city and the turning point of the war. Throughout his long and distinguished military career, Dunois proved himself to be a formidable commander, leading forces in battles against the English and Burgundians. He was also a key figure in the political landscape of the time, serving as a trusted advisor to several French monarchs, including Charles VII and Louis XI. Despite his many accomplishments, Dunois remains something of a mysterious figure. His motivations and actions during the later stages of his career have been the subject of much debate among historians. Some view him as a loyal and dedicated servant of the French crown, while others see him as a power-hungry opportunist. This haunting image of Dunois, with his piercing eyes and stern expression, invites us to ponder the complexities of this enigmatic figure. The print, produced by an anonymous artist, is a testament to the enduring fascination that Dunois continues to hold for historians and the public alike. Dated to the late 19th or early 20th century, this print is a valuable historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the past and the intriguing world of Jean de Dunois, Count of Dunois.
