Portrait of Marshal Canrobert, for the Gallery of Versailles, painted by M. Beaucé, 1860. Creator: Unknown
Portrait of Marshal Canrobert, for the Gallery of Versailles, painted by M. Beauce, 1860. A portrait of Marshal Canrobert has just been finished...[showing] the General as he appeared in his quarters before Sebastopol...During the progress of the painting we had several times the pleasure of conversing with the Marshal in the atelier of M. Beauce, and can therefore testify to the exactness of the resemblance in every respect even to the minutest details of the costume so often seen in the trenches around the doomed city...In March, 1854, when the Russian war broke out, General Canrobert took the command of the first division of the French army, the division that suffered so terribly in the Dobrudja. He afterwards aided most powerfully in the Crimean expedition, and sustained the first shock with the Russians in the brilliant fight at the Alma, one of the most glorious souvenirs for the allied armies... For his services in the Crimea Canrobert received the baton of Marshal of France, which entitles him to a seat in the Senate, and he is also a Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860

EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait of Marshal Pierre-César-Auguste Minière de Canrobert, painted by M. Beaucé in 1860, is a testament to the bravery and leadership of one of France's most esteemed military figures. The painting, which now graces the halls of the Gallery of Versailles, captures Canrobert as he appeared in his quarters before the siege of Sebastopol during the Russian War. The meticulous attention to detail in the portrait is evident, from the intricacies of Canrobert's uniform to the subtle expressions that convey his strength and determination. During the painting process, the Marshal himself visited the atelier of M. Beaucé several times, allowing for a precise and authentic representation of his likeness. Canrobert's military career began in March 1854, when he took command of the first division of the French army during the outbreak of the Russian war. His division suffered heavily in the Dobrudja, but Canrobert's leadership and valor were instrumental in the Crimean expedition, where he aided in the brilliant fight at the Alma and sustained the first shock against the Russians. For his exceptional services in the Crimea, Canrobert was bestowed with the baton of Marshal of France, granting him a seat in the Senate, and he was also made a Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor. This portrait, a visual embodiment of Canrobert's military achievements and personal character, continues to inspire awe and admiration in viewers to this day.
