EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Johann Lombard: Prussian Statesman and Diplomat at Cabinetsrath" Johann Lombard (1767-1812) was a prominent Prussian statesman and diplomat who served under the reigns of Frederick William II and Frederick William III. This evocative portrait captures Lombard in the prime of his career, dressed in the formal attire of the Prussian court. The image, dated around 1790, depicts Lombard in a serious and contemplative pose, with a thoughtful expression on his face. His piercing gaze and well-groomed appearance convey a sense of intelligence, authority, and sophistication. The background of the print, adorned with ornate gold trim and intricate patterns, underscores the grandeur and opulence of the Prussian court. Lombard began his political career in the late 18th century, serving as a diplomat in various European capitals. He played a key role in negotiating the Treaty of Basel in 1795, which ended the War of the First Coalition and secured Prussia's territorial gains. In 1801, Lombard was appointed as the president of the Prussian Privy Council, a position that gave him significant influence over the government. Despite his political successes, Lombard's tenure was not without controversy. He was a vocal critic of the French Revolution and its ideology, and his opposition to Napoleon Bonaparte's expansionist policies led to several diplomatic clashes. In 1806, Prussia was defeated in the Battle of Jena and Auerstedt, and Lombard was forced to flee to Russia. He later returned to Prussia and continued to serve in various diplomatic roles until his death in 1812. This portrait of Johann Lombard offers a glimpse into the life of a pivotal figure in Prussian history. His legacy as a statesman and diplomat continues to be studied and debated by historians, making this image a valuable addition to any collection of European political history.
