Marie Antoinette Taking Leave of the Mother, (1770), 1890 - A Glimpse into the Life of a Young Queen
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in history - Marie Antoinette bidding farewell to her mother, Empress Maria Theresia. Taken from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" this image offers us a glimpse into the life of the last Queen of France before the French Revolution. At just 14 years old, Marie Antoinette embarked on a journey that would forever change her destiny. Becoming Dauphine of France upon her marriage to Louis-Auguste, she left behind her beloved mother and embraced her new role with grace and poise. The photograph showcases an intimate scene as Marie Antoinette holds hands with her mother, their connection palpable even through time. Surrounded by members of their entourage, they stand inside an opulent building that reflects the grandeur associated with royalty. This image not only portrays a historical event but also highlights themes such as family bonds and female empowerment. It reminds us that behind every powerful figure lies personal relationships and emotions that shape their actions. Created by an unknown artist in 1890, this engraving immortalizes an important chapter in European history. As we admire this piece, let us reflect on Marie Antoinette's journey from innocent child bride to controversial queen - a story filled with love, loss, and ultimately tragedy.
