EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished figure of Francois-Henri de Franquetot de Coigny, the Duc de Coigny. Engraved by Georges Rouget, this exquisite artwork captures the essence of a remarkable French soldier and nobleman who lived from 1737 to 1821. Francois-Henri de Franquetot de Coigny's life was marked by extraordinary events and accomplishments. Fleeing France during the tumultuous years of the French Revolution, he found refuge in Portugal where he joined their army in their fight against the French Republic and Napoleon Bonaparte. Afterwards, with the restoration of Bourbon monarchy in France, Francois-Henri returned to his homeland. His loyalty and bravery were recognized when King Louis XVIII appointed him as a Marshal of France in 1816. This prestigious title symbolized his exceptional military achievements and unwavering dedication to his country. The engraving beautifully depicts Francois-Henri's regal presence, capturing both strength and elegance in his posture. The intricate details highlight his noble features while conveying a sense of authority befitting a duke and marshal. This stunning piece is part of a private collection but can be admired by all through this photo print. It serves as a reminder not only of an influential historical figure but also as an homage to those who have fought for their beliefs amidst challenging times.
