EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Charles du Houx de Viomenil, a prominent figure in French military history. Born in 1734, he held the prestigious title of Marquis de Viomenil and dedicated his life to serving his country. The artist's skillful hand brings out the noble features of this distinguished soldier. Du Houx de Viomenil's story is one of resilience and loyalty. When the French Revolution erupted, he chose to emigrate and joined the army of Conde, showing his unwavering commitment to preserving the monarchy. Later on, in 1798, he entered Russian service as part of his ongoing fight against revolutionary forces. After years spent fighting for various causes abroad, Du Houx de Viomenil returned home following the Bourbon Restoration. His dedication did not go unnoticed by Louis XVIII who rewarded him with an esteemed position - Marshal of France - in 1816. The engraving captures Du Houx de Viomenil's strength and determination through intricate details that highlight both his military attire and commanding presence. This print serves as a reminder of a man who played a significant role during turbulent times in French history. Displayed proudly within private collections today, this artwork allows us to appreciate not only Du Houx de Viomenil's legacy but also the artistic talent that immortalized him for generations to come.
