EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 18th century depicts the historic audience of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette on November 15,1789. The print, granted to the widow of Francois Boulanger, offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment during the French Revolution. The scene showcases the opulent grandeur of the French monarchy as they receive guests in their lavish court at Versailles. Louis XVI, known for his ill-fated reign, sits regally on his throne while Marie Antoinette exudes elegance by his side. Their presence commands attention as they engage with visitors amidst an atmosphere charged with political tension. This particular audience holds significant meaning due to its connection to Francois Boulanger's tragic fate. Just weeks prior, he fell victim to public outrage and was killed by an angry mob on October 21,1789. The widow's privilege of this private audience serves as both a remembrance of her late husband and a stark reminder of the volatility that engulfed France during this tumultuous period. Preserved within Bibliotheque de L'Arsenal in Paris, this engraving captures not only historical events but also reflects upon themes such as power dynamics and societal unrest that defined the era. It stands as a testament to how art can immortalize moments in time and evoke emotions long after they have passed. (Photo © Photo Josse)
