Corneille de Lyon
French, born in the Hague, active by 1533–died 1575
François de Montmorency
c. 1557
François de Montmorency served as a military officer under King Henri II of France and as governor of Paris for a time. Of several known portraits, this is the only one that shows him as a young man. Though small in scale, Corneille's painting records the sitter's face and costume with remarkable precision.
