Guillaume Gouffier, Seigneur de Bonnivet (c. 1488-1525), was a prominent French nobleman and military leader during the early 16th century. Born into the influential Gouffier family, he was the son of Guillaume Gouffier, Seigneur de Boisy, and Philippe de Montmorency. His family held significant sway in the French court, and Bonnivet himself became a close confidant and favorite of King Francis I of France.

Bonnivet's career was marked by his military exploits and his role in the Italian Wars, a series of conflicts that saw France vying for control over territories in Italy. He participated in several key battles, including the Battle of Marignano in 1515, where Francis I secured a decisive victory over the Swiss Confederation. Bonnivet's valor and leadership on the battlefield earned him the king's favor and numerous titles and responsibilities.

In addition to his military career, Bonnivet was also known for his diplomatic skills. He was appointed Admiral of France in 1517, a position that placed him in charge of the French navy and involved him in various diplomatic missions. His tenure as admiral, however, was marred by the disastrous Battle of Pavia in 1525, where he was killed. The French defeat at Pavia was a significant setback for Francis I and marked the end of Bonnivet's illustrious career.

Bonnivet's legacy extends beyond his military and diplomatic achievements. He was a patron of the arts and a notable figure in the cultural life of the French Renaissance. His association with the French court and his support for artists and intellectuals contributed to the flourishing of Renaissance culture in France.

The portrait of Guillaume Gouffier, Seigneur de Bonnivet, attributed to the studio of Clouet, captures the essence of this influential figure. The Clouet family, particularly Jean Clouet and his son François Clouet, were renowned portraitists of the French Renaissance, known for their detailed and lifelike depictions of the French nobility. This portrait, like many others from the Clouet studio, reflects the elegance and sophistication of the French court during this period. The precise details and the dignified bearing of Bonnivet in the portrait underscore his status as a key figure in the political and cultural life of early 16th-century France.
