EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the marriage between the Dauphin of France, who would later become Louis XVI, and Archduchess Marie-Antoinette. The couple is depicted standing in the grand chapel at Versailles on 16 May 1770, surrounded by opulent decor and an air of anticipation. The image showcases the regal elegance of this union as they exchange vows before their subjects. Both figures are adorned in lavish attire befitting their royal status, with Marie-Antoinette radiating beauty in her ornate gown and intricate hairstyle. Louis XVI exudes a sense of responsibility and seriousness as he takes his place beside his bride. The significance of this event cannot be overstated; it marked a crucial alliance between two powerful European dynasties – France and Austria. Little did they know that their fates would become entwined with that of an entire nation during one of history's most tumultuous periods. Through this coloured engraving, we are transported back to a time when monarchy held immense influence over society. It serves as a reminder not only of the splendorous ceremonies that accompanied such unions but also the weighty responsibilities borne by those who wore crowns. Preserved within Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, this piece from French School offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but forever etched in our collective memory.
