The "Portrait of Joachim Murat" from "Le Plutarque Français" by Guilleminot, Armand, is a notable example of 19th-century French portraiture, capturing the essence of one of Napoleon Bonaparte's most distinguished marshals. Joachim Murat (1767-1815) was a prominent military leader and King of Naples, renowned for his flamboyant personality and daring cavalry tactics. This portrait is part of "Le Plutarque Français," a collection that aimed to celebrate and document the lives of significant French historical figures, drawing inspiration from the classical works of Plutarch.

"Le Plutarque Français" was an ambitious project that sought to provide a comprehensive biographical compendium of notable French personalities, akin to the ancient biographical works of Plutarch. Armand Guilleminot, the author, meticulously compiled these biographies, ensuring that each entry was accompanied by a detailed and evocative portrait. The portrait of Joachim Murat stands out not only for its artistic quality but also for its historical significance, offering a visual representation of a key figure in Napoleonic history.

The portrait itself is characterized by its attention to detail and the vivid depiction of Murat's striking features and elaborate military attire. His confident pose and the rich textures of his uniform convey both his martial prowess and his regal status. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow enhances the three-dimensionality of the figure, bringing Murat's dynamic personality to life.

In addition to its artistic merits, the portrait serves as an important historical document, providing contemporary viewers with a glimpse into the visual culture of the Napoleonic era. It reflects the period's fascination with heroic figures and the romanticization of military leaders. Through this portrait, Guilleminot's "Le Plutarque Français" not only preserves the memory of Joachim Murat but also contributes to the broader understanding of French history and the enduring legacy of Napoleon's empire.
