EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Louis Philippe II, Duke of Orleans, a prominent figure from the 19th century. The portrait depicts a man dressed in exquisite royal attire, donning an elegant hat adorned with feathers that exude sophistication and grandeur. As the son of Philippe Egalite, who supported the French Revolution but tragically fell victim to the guillotine during the Terror, Louis-Philippe's journey was one marked by both tragedy and triumph. In this engraving, we catch a glimpse of his regal presence as he gazes into the distance with an air of authority and determination. His refined clothing reflects his noble lineage while also hinting at the turbulent times in which he lived - a period characterized by rebellion and revolution. Louis-Philippe's ascension to become King of France in 1830 is undoubtedly a testament to his resilience and political acumen. This image serves as a reminder not only of his personal story but also of France's tumultuous history during this era. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this historical portrayal, emphasizing its timeless quality. Preserved through time by The Print Collector, this remarkable piece allows us to connect with an important chapter in French history while appreciating the artistry behind capturing such influential figures on paper.
