EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas portrait depicts Victor Maurice de Riquet, comte de Caraman, a distinguished nobleman and military figure of his time. Painted by the renowned artist Alexander Roslin, this masterpiece is now part of a private collection. Victor-Maurice de Riquet (1727-1807) was not only known for his military achievements but also for being the favorite of King Stanislas of Poland. As Lieutenant-General of Provence and provincial governor, he held significant positions in the French monarchy. In this painting, we see him adorned with the prestigious Order of Saint-Louis, symbolizing his valor and loyalty to the king. His regal countenance exudes confidence and authority befitting a man of such stature. Beyond his military career, Victor-Maurice de Riquet possessed an artistic flair as well. He was an amateur garden designer who had the honor of working on Marie-Antoinette's garden at Le Petit Trianon. This further showcases his diverse talents and connection to influential figures during that era. The attention to detail in Roslin's brushwork brings out every nuance in Victor-Maurice de Riquet's expression and attire. The play between light and shadow adds depth to this striking portrait. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur and elegance that defined high society during 18th-century France
