EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning portrait captures the elegant and intellectual visage of Louis-César de La Baume Le Blanc, Duc de La Vallière (1708-1780), a grandson of the famous mistress of King Louis XIV, Louise de La Vallière. The image, created during the late Baroque period, showcases the Duc's refined air and his deep engagement with literature. Born into the French nobility, La Vallière was known for his passion for books and scholarship. He amassed an impressive collection of rare and valuable volumes, which he housed in his personal library. His love for literature was not merely a pastime; it was a deeply intellectual pursuit that shaped his identity and worldview. The portrait, which dates from the late 18th century, captures the Duc's scholarly demeanor and his intense focus on the written word. His piercing gaze and serious expression convey a sense of deep concentration and contemplation. The intricate detail of his attire, with its rich fabrics and ornate decorations, underscores his noble status and wealth. As a descendant of Louise de La Vallière, who was one of King Louis XIV's most famous mistresses, the Duc carried the weight of history on his shoulders. However, he chose to distinguish himself through his intellectual pursuits rather than his familial connections. This portrait serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as a bibliophile and a scholar, and a reminder of the power of knowledge to transcend the boundaries of time and circumstance.
