About the piece
Painted by Jacques Stella in 1643, this formal portrait captures the youthful Louis II de Bourbon, the future Prince of Condé. The work illustrates the height of Baroque portraiture, showcasing the meticulous detail of his ceremonial armor and the soft, luminous texture of his flowing blonde hair against a moody, atmospheric landscape background.
