EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Interrogation of Cardinal de Rohan (1734-1803), January 1786" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by the French School in the 18th century, this pen and ink drawing depicts a crucial event known as the "interrogatoire du cardinal de Rohan". Within this artwork, we witness an intense scene from the Dossier du Proces that ultimately led to the unpopularity of Marie-Antoinette. The central figure is Louis Rene Edouard, prince de Rohan, who served as the Grand Almoner of France in 1777. This interrogation played a pivotal role during the infamous Affaire du Collier or Necklace Affair, which became a government scandal. The image showcases intricate details and emotions captured through skillful pen strokes. It highlights not only Cardinal de Rohan but also features elements such as diamonds symbolizing wealth and power – elements that were at play during this tumultuous period leading up to the French Revolution. Preserved within Centre Historique des Archives Nationales in Paris, France, this drawing serves as a record of court trial proceedings conducted between 1785 and 1786. Its historical significance lies not only in its portrayal of key individuals involved but also its connection to Marie Antoinette herself. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to an era filled with intrigue and political upheaval –
