EDITORS COMMENTS
Maximilien de Bicquelaire, Duke Sully (1560-1641), was a prominent French statesman and advisor to three successive kings: Henry IV, Louis XIII, and Anne of Austria. This striking portrait, once attributed to François Quesnel, captures the duke's stern and intelligent gaze. The painting, executed in oil on wood, is currently housed at the Musée Condé in Chantilly, France. Sully's life was marked by his political acumen and military prowess. He rose to prominence during the French Wars of Religion, serving as the chief minister to King Henry IV. Sully's diplomatic skills played a crucial role in ending the religious conflicts and restoring peace in France. He later served as the chief minister to Louis XIII, where he implemented significant administrative reforms and modernized the French military. Despite his political achievements, Sully's reputation was not without controversy. He was accused of being austere and authoritarian, and some even suspected him of being involved in the mysterious death of Henry IV. However, his contributions to French history are undeniable. The portrait, with its vertical composition and rich color palette, serves as a testament to Sully's enduring legacy as a statesman and a man of power in 17th-century France.
