Henri d'Orléans, Duke of Aumale (1822-1897), is a prominent figure in French history, known for his military career, political influence, and contributions to the arts and literature. Born into the House of Orléans, he was the fifth son of King Louis-Philippe I of France. Henri d'Orléans distinguished himself as a soldier and statesman, but he is perhaps equally renowned for his patronage of the arts and his extensive collection of artworks and manuscripts.

One notable artwork associated with Henri d'Orléans is "Henri d'Orléans, Duke of Aumale at Muzayah," part of the "Album Afrique 1835-45," created in 1840 by the French artist Félix Philippoteaux. Philippoteaux, a respected painter and lithographer, was known for his historical and military scenes, and his work often depicted significant events and figures of his time.

The "Album Afrique 1835-45" is a collection that captures various aspects of French military campaigns in North Africa, particularly during the period of French colonial expansion. The album includes detailed illustrations and scenes that provide a visual narrative of the French presence in the region. "Henri d'Orléans, Duke of Aumale at Muzayah" is a significant piece within this collection, as it portrays the Duke during his military service in Algeria.

In this artwork, Philippoteaux captures the Duke of Aumale in a moment of action or contemplation, reflecting his role as a military leader. The depiction is not only a testament to the Duke's involvement in the French conquest of Algeria but also serves as a historical document that offers insights into the period's military attire, equipment, and the landscape of North Africa.

Henri d'Orléans' contributions to the military campaigns in Algeria were significant, and his experiences there influenced his later life and works. His patronage of the arts and his efforts to preserve and promote French cultural heritage are well-documented, and his legacy includes the Château de Chantilly, which houses his extensive collections and serves as a museum today.

Félix Philippoteaux's portrayal of the Duke of Aumale at Muzayah is a valuable piece of historical art that encapsulates the intersection of French military history and the personal narrative of one of its notable figures.
