EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 17th century print depicts Taneguy Renault Des Bois-Clairs, a prominent French military commander and governor. Born in 1588, Des Bois-Clairs rose through the ranks of the French military, earning a reputation as a skilled and capable leader. He served in various campaigns during the late 16th and early 17th centuries, including the Battle of Ivry in 1590 and the Siege of La Rochelle in 1627. Des Bois-Clairs' military prowess earned him the favor of King Louis XIII, who appointed him governor of several important territories. One of his most notable appointments was as governor of Normandy in 1622, a position he held until his death in 1638. During his tenure, he worked to strengthen the defenses of the region and maintain peace and order. This print, created during Des Bois-Clairs' lifetime, captures the commander's regal presence and military authority. He is depicted in full armor, holding a sword and wearing a plumed hat adorned with the fleur-de-lis, the symbol of the French monarchy. The background features a landscape of rolling hills and a castle, perhaps representing one of the territories under his governance. Des Bois-Clairs' legacy as a military leader and governor continues to be celebrated in French history. His strategic acumen and dedication to the service of his king helped shape the political and military landscape of 17th century France. This print serves as a testament to his enduring legacy and the importance of military leadership during a time of great change and upheaval.
