1754 1838 Isabey Maurice Pens Perigord Quill Talleyrand Benevent
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite miniature portrait captures the enigmatic and sophisticated figure of Prince Maurice-Charles-Gabriel de Talleyrand-Périgord, a French statesman of unparalleled political acumen and diplomatic skill. Painted by the renowned French artist, Horace Vernet's student, Paul Delaroche, under the guidance of the master painter Jean-Baptiste Isabey, this miniature was completed in 1838. Born in 1754, Talleyrand rose to prominence during the French Revolution, serving as the French Ambassador to the United States and later negotiating the Treaty of Tilsit between France and Prussia. Known for his red jacket, Talleyrand's distinctive attire is faithfully rendered in this miniature, adding to the lifelike quality of the portrait. The prince is depicted in a contemplative pose, holding a quill pen in his right hand, suggesting the intellectual and literary pursuits that defined his life. Talleyrand was a prolific writer and published several memoirs and treatises on diplomacy and politics. This miniature is a testament to the artistry of Isabey and Delaroche, as well as the enduring legacy of Talleyrand as a masterful statesman and diplomat. The intricate details of the painting, from the delicate folds of Talleyrand's jacket to the subtle shading of his features, reveal the skill and artistry of the artists. As a historical artifact, this miniature offers a glimpse into the life and times of one of France's most influential figures, providing a valuable record of the political and cultural history of the 19th century.
