Painting Description
"Maurice, Comte de Saxe, Marshal of France 1748" is a pastel portrait by the French artist Maurice Quentin de La Tour, a master of pastel painting during the Rococo period. The artwork depicts Maurice de Saxe (1696–1750), a celebrated military commander known for his victories in the War of the Austrian Succession and his elevation to Marshal of France in 1744. The portrait, created in 1748, captures the count in his marshal's uniform, adorned with the sash and insignia of the Order of the Holy Spirit, reflecting his high status and the esteem in which he was held at the court of Louis XV.
Maurice Quentin de La Tour's skillful use of pastel allows for a vivid and detailed representation, showcasing his ability to render textures and the play of light with a lifelike quality. The portrait is noted for its realism and the nuanced expression of the sitter, which suggests the character and presence of the marshal. The work is an example of La Tour's portraiture that often featured prominent figures of the French Enlightenment and aristocracy, contributing to his reputation as one of the leading portraitists of his time.
The portrait is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, providing insight into the military and cultural milieu of 18th-century France. As of the knowledge cutoff date, the portrait is part of the collection of the Musée de l'Armée in Paris, where it remains an important piece within the broader context of French portraiture and the representation of military figures in art.
