EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print captures the regal elegance and refined sophistication of King Louis XVI of France (1754-1793). The monarch is depicted in a grand and ornate setting, dressed in the opulent attire befitting a king of the Ancien Régime. The portrait was created by the renowned French engravers Jean-Baptiste Marie Pierre (1714-1789) and Pierre-François Basan (1732-1797), working from a painting by the celebrated artist Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun (1755-1842). Louis XVI, born as Louis-Joseph, was the last king of the Bourbon dynasty in France before the French Revolution. He ascended to the throne in 1774 upon the death of his grandfather, King Louis XV. The image portrays him as a mature and poised monarch, with a serious yet compassionate expression on his face. The intricate details of his attire, from the velvet doublet and breeches to the lace jabot and the ermine-trimmed mantle, reflect the grandeur and splendor of the French court during the late 18th century. The print also features an elaborate decorative border, filled with intricate floral motifs, classical figures, and emblems of the French monarchy. The overall effect is one of grandeur, opulence, and refinement, capturing the essence of the Ancien Régime and the world of the French nobility before the Revolution. This print is an invaluable historical document, offering a glimpse into the rich and complex history of France during the late 18th century. It is a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the period, and a reminder of the enduring allure of the French monarchy and its iconic figures.
