• DESCRIPTION: This 19th-century engraving by N. Poirier presents the famed statue of Jean Bart, the celebrated Dunkirk-born naval commander whose exploits under Louis XIV made him a national hero. The composition includes the poetic caption, "Jean Bart, fils de Neptune, indomptable heros! La mort pour te saisir attendit ton repos," a tribute that frames Bart as a fearless, almost mythic figure whose strength endured until his final rest. The print reflects the 19th-century French revival of interest in maritime heroes and the continued cultural elevation of Bart as one of France's great commanders.
