EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dignified presence of Philip de Mornay, Count of Plessis (1549-1623), a prominent figure in French history. The engraving by George Vertue showcases the count's commanding stature and noble bearing. Philip de Mornay was not only a statesman but also a Huguenot leader during a time of religious conflict in France. As a Protestant, he faced persecution and ultimately fled to England for safety. His writings and authorship further solidified his reputation as an influential figure. In this portrait, we see him depicted with an oval face framed by a well-groomed beard that adds to his air of wisdom and authority. He wears an elegant ruff or fraise around his neck, symbolizing his high social status. The print is housed at the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, where it serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of this remarkable man. This image allows us to glimpse into the life of Philip de Mornay - both as an esteemed political leader and as someone who sought refuge amidst turbulent times.
