EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving captures the stern and resolute visage of Auguste-Jules-Armand-Marie de Polignac (1780-1847), a prominent French statesman and ultra-royalist politician. Polignac's political career blossomed in the aftermath of the French Revolution, as he became a staunch advocate for the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy. His unwavering loyalty to the crown earned him the position of prime minister under King Charles X, just before the momentous July Revolution of 1830. The revolution, which overthrew the Bourbon dynasty, marked the end of the Restoration period and the beginning of the July Monarchy. Polignac's tenure as prime minister was brief, but his legacy remains significant in the annals of French history. This evocative portrait, now housed in the National Library of Madrid, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of political upheaval and transformation. The vertical, upright composition, with its stark contrasts of black and white, adds to the image's sense of gravity and importance. The portrait serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities and intrigues of European political history, and the indelible mark left by the men and women who shaped it.
