1460 1510 Amboise Archbishop Cardinal Damboise Depicted Desk Minister Rouen


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures Georges d'Amboise (1460-1510), a pivotal figure in French politics during the late 15th century. As the Cardinal-Archbishop of Rouen and a trusted minister to King Louis XII, d'Amboise wielded significant influence over ecclesiastical and secular affairs. Seated at his ornate desk, d'Amboise appears deep in thought, his fur-lined robe draped elegantly over his chair. The richly decorated room, adorned with tapestries and intricate woodwork, reflects the opulence and power of the time. The cardinal's mitre rests atop the desk, a symbol of his high ecclesiastical rank. The year is not definitively known, but this portrait likely dates from d'Amboise's tenure as a key advisor to Louis XII, between 1498 and 1510. During this period, d'Amboise played a crucial role in the king's diplomatic efforts, negotiating alliances and treaties with European powers. He also oversaw the administration of the Rouen archdiocese and served as the king's legate in Rome. Despite his worldly success, d'Amboise remained devoted to his faith. He was known for his piety and charitable works, founding several religious institutions and supporting the construction of the Church of Saint-Maclou in Rouen. This portrait offers a glimpse into the complex world of late medieval France, where church and state intertwined, and powerful figures like Georges d'Amboise shaped the course of history.
