EDITORS COMMENTS
The Departure of Louis XV from Sainte-Chapelle after the lit de justice marked a significant turning point in French history. Captured in this print by Pierre-Denis Martin, we witness the momentous event that ended the reign of Louis XIV and ushered in a new era. On the 12th of September 1715, young Louis XV, only five years old at the time, emerged from Sainte-Chapelle following the lit de justice ceremony. This solemn occasion saw the Parlement de Paris declare Philippe d'Orleans as regent, solidifying his role in guiding France during Louis XV's minority. The scene depicted is one of grandeur and importance. A crowd gathers outside Sainte-Chapelle to witness their future king's departure. The architecture of this iconic church serves as an awe-inspiring backdrop for this historic moment. Soldiers and guards stand tall, emphasizing both protection and power. Martin's gouache on paper technique brings vibrancy to every detail - from the ornate carriages transporting royalty to soldiers adorned with intricate uniforms. The image captures not just a procession but also conveys a sense of anticipation for what lies ahead. This print offers us a glimpse into an extraordinary chapter in French history when power shifted hands and a young monarch began his journey towards shaping his own legacy.
