Thetis delivering Achilles New Armor

By François Gérard

Dawn veiled in saffron rose from the streams of Ocean, to carry light to the immortals and to mortal men, and Thetis arrived at the ships carrying the gifts from Hephaestus. She found her beloved son lying with his arms around Patroclus, keening, and his many companions about him dissolved in tears; and she stood among them, the shining among goddesses, and clasped his hand, and spoke to him and said his name: “My child, grieved though we be, we must leave this one lie, since by the will of the gods, he has been broken once for all; you now take the splendid armor from Hephaestus,​ exceeding in beauty, such as a mortal man has never worn upon his shoulders.”

The Iliad, Book 19, Lines 1-11

François Gérard (1770-1837), Portrait de Charles Ferdinand Théodore de Vassinhac d'Imécourt, 1808, oil on canvas

Portrait displays a Napoleonic officer who died at the Siege of Danzig (1807) during the War of the 4th Coalition. According to Philippe Dufour, “The male portrait rarely reached such a peak of elegance as under the First Empire”. This portrait sold for €1,472,000 in 2022.

Born on July 16, 1785 in Paris, Ferdinand d'Imécourt was the youngest of three children. Volunteering at the age of twenty in 1805 for the Dutch campaign, Ferdinand d'Imécourt experienced a rapid and promising advancement. In 1807, he was Marshal Lefebvre's orderly and died prematurely on April 13, 1807 during the siege of Danzig. He is buried in the southern part of the cathedral of Oliwa (about 12 km from Danzig), where a Latin stele still stands mentioning him. This was one of the last burials inside a church, since the Napoleonic code in force in the Grand Duchy of Warsaw prohibited this practice. During the siege of Danzig, the cathedral of Oliwa served as a field hospital for the French army. Wounded during a sortie at nine o'clock in the evening, he died at six o'clock in the morning at the age of twenty-one years and nine months.

François Gérard (French,) • Louis XVIII (1755–1824), King of France • 1824 • Apsley House, London

Poor Louis:

Although gay dictionaries often include Louis XVIII, the king was certainly not "gay" nor even "homosexual" or "bisexual" in any conventional sense of these words. It is possible that he never had sex with anyone in his life.
