EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back to a momentous occasion in 1816 when Louis XVIII, the enigmatic King of France, paid a visit to the Quinze-Vingts Hospital. Painted with exquisite detail and vibrant colors by Pierre Antoine Lesueur, this gouache on paper captures the essence of that historic day. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can feel the anticipation and reverence emanating from both patients and staff alike. The blind hospital becomes a backdrop for an extraordinary encounter between royalty and those living in darkness. With laurel wreaths adorning his head and surrounded by angelic figures, Louis XVIII exudes regality while also embodying compassion. The title "Unfamiliar to our Eyes, He Rules in our Hearts" perfectly encapsulates the sentiment behind this image. Though unfamiliar due to their blindness or physical ailments, these individuals find solace and inspiration through their connection with their beloved king. It is as if his presence transcends mere sight; it touches their hearts deeply. This photograph not only serves as a testament to Louis XVIII's benevolence but also highlights society's evolving perception towards disability during that era. Through Lesueur's masterful brushstrokes, we witness how art has immortalized
