EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Armand de Gontault, Baron de Biron, a prominent figure in French history during the 16th century. The portrait showcases his commanding presence as he stands confidently in his ornate breastplate armor, adorned with a distinguished sash. With a long beard framing his face, Baron de Biron exudes wisdom and experience. Known by various names such as Desfontaines, Gontaut, and Biron le Boiteux (the Lame), this nobleman held the prestigious title of Marshal of France. His military prowess is evident from the battle scars etched on his armor. However, it was at the siege of Epernay where he met an untimely demise. The artist behind this remarkable piece remains anonymous but has skillfully captured every detail of Baron de Biron's countenance. The oval frame adds to the elegance and timelessness of this engraving. Now preserved in a private collection, this print allows us to glimpse into the life and legacy of one of France's notable historical figures. It serves as a reminder that even great men are not immune to tragedy or mortality.
