Painting Description
"Charles François Lebrun, 1739-1824, Duke of Plaisance in the Costume of the Archtreasurer of the Empire" is a notable oil painting by Baron François Gérard, a prominent French painter of the Neoclassical period. Created in 1808, this portrait immortalizes Charles-François Lebrun, a distinguished French statesman and administrator who served as the Arch-Treasurer of the Napoleonic Empire. Lebrun's political career spanned several key periods in French history, including the Ancien Régime, the French Revolution, and the Napoleonic era, culminating in his elevation to the dignity of Duke of Plaisance (Piacenza) by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1808.
In this imposing portrait, Gérard captures Lebrun in his official regalia, reflecting both his high office and the grandeur of the Napoleonic court. The artist's mastery of portraiture is evident in the meticulous rendering of textures and fabrics, as well as the dignified and composed expression on Lebrun's face, which conveys his authority and experience. The painting serves not only as a testament to Lebrun's personal achievements but also as an emblem of the era's political and social structures.
Baron François Gérard (1770–1837) was a favored portraitist of the French court and is renowned for his depictions of historical scenes and key figures of his time. His works are celebrated for their elegance, realism, and the insight they provide into the personalities and fashions of the Napoleonic age. The portrait of Charles François Lebrun is held in high esteem among Gérard's oeuvre and is considered an important piece of French art history, offering a window into the aesthetics and ceremonial aspects of the Napoleonic Empire.
