EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Victor-Guy Baron Duperre, a prominent figure in French naval history. Painted by Eugene Charpentier in 1839, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 128x58 cm and is currently housed at the Musee d'Art Thomas Henry in Cherbourg, France. Baron Duperre's distinguished career as an admiral and Minister of the French Navy is beautifully captured in this three-quarter length portrait. Clad in his striking naval uniform adorned with a sash, epaulettes, and gold brocade, he exudes authority and elegance. The artist pays meticulous attention to detail, highlighting every medal that adorns his chest. Duperre's remarkable service under Napoleon is reflected through his resolute gaze and confident posture. Despite retiring from active duty in 1814, he was called back into service four years later due to his exceptional leadership skills. Notably, he commanded the French Fleet during the invasion of Algiers in 1830. This print offers viewers a glimpse into the life of an influential historical figure who played a crucial role in shaping France's maritime power. It serves as a testament to Duperre's unwavering dedication to his country and highlights his significant contributions to both military strategy and political affairs. As we admire this artwork today, we are reminded of Baron Duperre's legacy as not only an accomplished naval officer but also as Ministre de la Marine—a position that further solidified his impact on France
