Portrait of Guy Aldonce de Durfort de Lorges (1630-1702) is a 1827 oil by Merry-Joseph Blondel, a Neoclassicism work, depicting Louis Xiv of France, held at Palace of Versailles.
This painting shows a man in elaborate armor, standing outdoors. He wears a large hat with a red feather, a white sash, and holds a sword in his right hand. The man's armor is shiny and metallic, with gold accents. He stands in front of a rocky outcropping, with a body of water and a distant landscape visible behind him. The painting's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and volume. You might want to learn more about the artist, Merry-Joseph Blondel.
