EDITORS COMMENTS
The Capitouls of Toulouse extend a grand welcome to the Dukes of Burgundy and Berry in this oil on canvas print. Painted by Jean Michel in 1701, the artwork depicts a momentous occasion as the elected administrative, judicial, and military governors of Toulouse greet their esteemed guests. Measuring 48.5 x 71.5 cm, this masterpiece now resides at the Musee des Augustins in Toulouse, France. The scene showcases the splendor and magnificence of the era with its rich colors and intricate details. The Capitouls were highly respected figures who held significant power over the city and its surrounding district. In this painting, they stand tall and proud as they receive Louis de France, Duke of Burgundy - son of Grand Dauphin and father to future King Louis XV - along with his brother Charles de France, Duke of Berry. The composition captures an atmosphere filled with anticipation as an elegantly adorned carriage approaches amidst a crowd gathered for this historic event. It is a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. This remarkable piece not only provides us with a glimpse into French history but also serves as a reminder of the importance placed on ceremonial receptions during that time period.
