EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illumination print commemorates the birth of Prince Louis-Joseph Dauphin of France, the future King Louis-Philippe I, in October 1781. The image captures the excitement and jubilation of the Parisian crowd gathered outside Place Louis-XV, now known as Place de la Concorde, to celebrate the royal birth. The eighth arrondissement's grand palace, illuminated by oil lamps, stands proudly in the background, its facade adorned with intricate carvings and ornate details. The dusk sky casts a warm glow over the scene, adding to the festive atmosphere. The prince, represented as an infant, is shown in the center of the composition, cradled by his father, Louis Joseph, Dauphin of France, and surrounded by his mother, Marie Joséphine of Saxony, and other members of the royal family. The joyous occasion brought the people of Paris together, creating a sense of unity and pride in their country's heritage. This beautiful oil on canvas painting, now housed in the Musée Carnavalet in Paris, is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of France during the 19th century.
