Painting Description
"Le Brave Chevert standing in profile to the left on a Terrace at Villers-Coteret" is a notable work by French artist Louis Carrogis Carmontelle (1717–1806), who was renowned for his portraiture and landscape watercolors. Carmontelle was also an accomplished writer, dramatist, and creator of transparents, which were a form of illuminated theater. This particular artwork is a fine example of his skill in capturing the likeness and character of his subjects through delicate and detailed brushwork.
The piece is a portrait of François Chevert (1695–1769), a distinguished French general known for his bravery and military prowess during the War of the Austrian Succession and other conflicts of the 18th century. The title suggests that the general is depicted standing in profile on a terrace in Villers-Cotterêts, a commune in the Aisne department in northern France, which is historically significant as the location of the Château de Villers-Cotterêts, where King Francis I of France signed the Ordinance of Villers-Cotterêts in 1539.
Carmontelle's work is characterized by its attention to detail and the use of light and shadow to create depth and realism. His portraits often included landscape elements, as seen in this work, which provided context and added narrative to the subject's portrayal. "Le Brave Chevert standing in profile to the left on a Terrace at Villers-Coteret" not only commemorates an important military figure but also serves as a testament to the social and cultural milieu of 18th-century France.
As an artist, Carmontelle was highly regarded for his ability to capture the essence of the Enlightenment period through his art. His works are considered important historical documents, providing insight into the fashion, personalities, and aesthetics of his time. This particular piece is a valuable addition to the oeuvre of Carmontelle, reflecting both his artistic talent and the rich tapestry of French history.
