Sébastien de BOISHERAUD (1847-1927) "If I advance, follow me; if I retreat, kill me; if I die, avenge me - Henri de La Rochejacquelein", 1882. Plaster signed, titled and dated. Height: 70.5 cm. Width : 38 cm. Depth: 31.5 cm (missing, damaged and restored). This powerful figure of Monsieur Henri (1772-1794) probably evokes the Battle of Les Aubiers and echoes the painting by Pierre-Narcisse Guérin. Here, the 21-year-old general rises to the attack at the height of the battle, as evidenced by the bullet hole in his hat. Saber in the air, encouraging his men, he steps over a mortar and a broken rifle. With his left hand, he firmly holds the fleurdelisé standard. At the age of 19, Henri de La Rochejaquelein refused to follow his family into emigration, opting instead to defend the throne in Louis XVI's constitutional guard, to which he was called in 1791. On August 10, 1792, he joined the hapless Swiss in defense of the Tuileries Palace. Returning to his homeland, he discovered the Vendéens in revolt against religious persecution, conscription and the execution of the King. On April 13, 1793, at the Château de la Durbellière in Mauléon, 3,000 insurgent peasants cheered him on and urged him to lead them. It was there that he uttered his eternal words: "If I advance, follow me! If I retreat, kill me! If I die, avenge me! On the same day, he triumphed at Les Aubiers over General Quétineau's troops. The north of the Deux-Sèvres region was thrown into insurrection. Sébastien de Boishéraud had "known fire" as a grenadier for seven years. Gifted at drawing, he became interested in sculpture on his return from captivity in Germany in 1871. A pupil of Amédée Ménard and Charles Lebourg, he exhibited in Nantes and Paris salons. A figurative artist, he sculpted the people of his country, and of history. The Musée d'Art et d'Histoire de Cholet holds a terracotta statue of François-Athanase de Charette. Dated 1885, its dimensions are close to our work, which is also featured on the cover of the booklet "Les Boishéraud dans la Tourmente révolutionnaire, archives familiales, 2005". As far as we know, there are only a few known examples of this plaster, all in private collections.
