About the piece
Painted in 1826 by Léon Cogniet, this commanding oil portrait depicts Antoine Philippe de La Trémoille, Prince of Talmont, in a moment of heroic victory. Clad in a dark green military coat with a crisp white sash and holding a golden-hilted sword, the Prince stands atop a rocky precipice. The atmospheric, storm-swept sky and distant fortress ruins evoke the grandeur and drama characteristic of the Romantic period.
