The death of the Comte de Paris, England, 1894. Artist: Lionel Noel Royer
The Death of the Comte de Paris, England, 1894. Louis-Philippe Albert of Orleans, Count of Paris (1838-1894) was the grandson of Louis-Philippe I, King of the French. He became the Prince Royal, heir to the throne, when his father, Prince Ferdinand-Philippe, Duke of Orleans, died in 1842. Attempts to place him on the throne after Louis-Philippe abdicated in 1848 came to nothing, and he fled into exile. He served in the Union Army in the American Civil War. The French monarchy was never restored and the Count of Paris died at Stowe House in Buckinghamshire

The Death of the Comte de Paris, England, 1894
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant and powerful print capturing a significant moment in history. Painted by Lionel Noel Royer, this artwork portrays the final moments of Louis-Philippe Albert of Orleans, Count of Paris. As the grandson of King Louis-Philippe I, he was once the Prince Royal and heir to the French throne. The composition evokes deep emotions as we witness a scene filled with grief and sorrow. In a dimly lit room at Stowe House in Buckinghamshire, we see an intimate gathering surrounding the dying count's bedchamber. A priest stands nearby offering last rites while women kneel in prayerful devotion. This image symbolizes not only personal loss but also represents the demise of hopes for restoring monarchy in France. Despite attempts to place him on the throne after his grandfather's abdication in 1848, political circumstances led to exile instead. Louis-Philippe Albert's life took unexpected turns as he served in the Union Army during the American Civil War. Ultimately, his dreams went unfulfilled until his passing within these walls. Through its masterful use of color and attention to detail, this artwork captures both historical significance and human emotion. It serves as a reminder that even those born into royalty are not immune to tragedy or untimely endings. "The Death of the Comte de Paris" invites us to reflect upon our own mortality and contemplate how fleeting power can be amidst tumultuous times.
