EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the regal presence of Louis-Antoine, Duke of Angouleme, and Princess Marie-Therese Charlotte in 1799. The couple's elegant attire reflects the fashion trends of the late 18th century, showcasing their status as members of French royalty. Louis-Antoine (1775-1844) married Marie-Therese Charlotte, the only surviving child of Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette. In a twist of fate, they briefly became King and Queen of France in 1830 after Charles X abdicated. However, their reign lasted for a mere 20 minutes before they decided to decline the throne, which ultimately passed to Louis-Philippe. The portrait highlights not only their royal lineage but also their military connection. Louis-Antoine is depicted wearing a striking military uniform while his wife exudes grace in her exquisite dress and headdress. Their union symbolizes both love and duty within the monarchy. This engraving serves as a historical testament to an era marked by political turmoil and shifting power dynamics in France. It showcases the resilience displayed by this royal couple amidst challenging circumstances. As we gaze upon this image from centuries past, we are reminded of the complexities that lie behind every regal facade - love, sacrifice, loyalty, and responsibility all interwoven into one captivating moment frozen in time.
