EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the powerful presence of Louis Joseph de Bourbon, Duke of Vendome, known as The Great Vendome. Standing tall and resolute, he exudes an air of authority and military prowess. Dressed in a lace-trimmed sash and adorned with a majestic wig, his regal attire is juxtaposed against the smoky battlefield behind him. The scene depicts the Count of Penthievre during the War of the Great Alliance and War of the Spanish Succession. As Marshal of France, he led his army to victory in Catalonia, famously capturing Barcelona in 1697. The image showcases his strategic brilliance as cannons line the walls while smoke billows from their barrels. In this portrait, Vendome's piercing gaze reflects both determination and confidence as he surveys the besieged cityscape before him. His baton firmly grasped in hand symbolizes his command over his troops. The composition also includes elements such as a church spire rising above the chaos of battle and hints at a distant sea beyond. These details serve to emphasize not only Vendome's military achievements but also his role as a defender of faith. Overall, this engraving immortalizes Louis Joseph de Bourbon's legacy as one of France's most esteemed military leaders during the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
