EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures the dignified presence of Denis Decres, Minister of Marine and the Colonies during the Consulate and First Empire era. Created by Jacques Francois Gauderique Llanta in 1807, this print showcases Decres' remarkable achievements and prestigious titles. Denis Decres (1761-1820) was not only a prominent figure in French politics but also an esteemed admiral in the French Navy. His dedication to his country earned him numerous accolades, including being awarded the Grand Cross of the Legion d'Honneur. This photograph beautifully portrays his distinguished countenance, adorned with a sash, jabot, and medals that symbolize his bravery and service. However, Decres' life was tragically cut short when he was assassinated in 1820. Despite this untimely end to his career, his legacy as a key figure in Napoleonic France remains intact. This lithograph is part of Bibliotheque Nationale's collection in Paris, France. It serves as a testament to both Decres' significant contributions to French history and Llanta's artistic talent for capturing character through portraiture. As we gaze upon this striking image today, we are reminded of the valorous individuals who shaped our past. Their stories continue to inspire us while their images preserve their memory for future generations to admire.
