"James Fitz-James, duc de Berwick" is a portrait painted by the renowned French Baroque artist Hyacinthe Rigaud. Completed in 1705, the painting depicts James Fitz-James, 1st Duke of Berwick, an illegitimate son of King James II of England and Arabella Churchill. Fitz-James was a prominent military leader, serving as a marshal in the French army under King Louis XIV. The portrait captures him in a dignified pose, reflecting his status and military prowess.

Rigaud, known for his ability to convey the grandeur and authority of his subjects, employs a rich color palette and meticulous attention to detail. The duke is adorned in elaborate armor, symbolizing his martial achievements, and is draped in luxurious fabrics that emphasize his noble lineage. The background is subtly rendered, ensuring that the focus remains on the subject's commanding presence.

This work is a testament to Rigaud's skill in portraiture, showcasing his talent for capturing both the likeness and the essence of his sitters. The painting is part of a larger tradition of state portraiture, which was prevalent in the 17th and 18th centuries, where artists like Rigaud were commissioned to create images that conveyed power and prestige.

The portrait of the Duke of Berwick is housed in the Musée Condé in Chantilly, France, where it remains an important piece of the collection. It offers insight into the artistic and cultural milieu of the time, as well as the personal history of James Fitz-James, who played a significant role in the military history of both England and France. Rigaud's work continues to be celebrated for its artistic excellence and historical significance.
