"Portrait of Hercule-François, Duke of Alençon and of Anjou" is a painting attributed to Corneille de Lyon, a notable portrait artist of the French Renaissance. The artwork depicts Hercule-François (1555-1584), the youngest son of King Henry II of France and Catherine de' Medici. Known for his involvement in the complex political landscape of 16th-century France, Hercule-François held the titles of Duke of Alençon and Anjou.

Corneille de Lyon, originally from the Netherlands, became renowned for his small-scale portraits that captured the intricate details and personalities of his subjects. His works are characterized by their meticulous attention to detail, vibrant color palette, and the ability to convey the sitter's status and character. This particular portrait exemplifies these qualities, showcasing the Duke in a manner that reflects both his noble status and individual personality.

The painting is believed to have been created during the late 16th century, a period marked by religious and political turmoil in France. Hercule-François was involved in the Wars of Religion and was a key figure in the political machinations of the time, including his brief candidacy for the Polish throne and his involvement in the Dutch Revolt against Spanish rule.

The portrait is notable for its historical significance, offering insight into the fashion, culture, and political figures of Renaissance France. It is part of a broader collection of works by Corneille de Lyon that provide a visual record of the French court and its members during this tumultuous period.

Today, Corneille de Lyon's portraits, including this depiction of Hercule-François, are appreciated for their artistic merit and historical value.
