EDITORS COMMENTS
In this hand-colored lithograph, Antoine Duprat, a French cardinal and prominent politician, is depicted in regal attire, reflecting his influential role as Chancellor of France during the late 15th and early 16th centuries. The image, created by J.B. Gautier after a contemporary miniature in Roger de Gaignières portfolio, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and opulence of the French court during this period. Born in 1463, Duprat rose through the ranks of the Church and the French political scene, serving as an advisor to King Louis XII and later becoming a cardinal in 1504. In 1515, he was appointed Chancellor of France, a position he held until his death in 1535. During his tenure, Duprat played a crucial role in shaping French foreign and domestic policy, including the negotiations for the marriage of King Francis I to Claude de France, the daughter of King Louis XII. The lithograph captures Duprat's distinguished appearance, with his cardinal's hat adorned with the distinctive red tassel and ermine trim, and his voluminous robes embroidered with intricate designs. The rich colors and meticulous details bring the image to life, transporting us back to the opulent courts of the French monarchy. This print is a testament to the enduring allure of historical figures and the power of art to preserve their legacies.
