EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting Queen Marie Antoinette and Mirabeau engaged in what is believed to be a secret meeting. Created by the talented artist Charles W Sharpe in 1832, this engraving offers a glimpse into the castle of Saint Cloud during the summer of 1790. Intriguingly, this encounter between Marie Antoinette (1755-1793) and Mirabeau (1749-1791) took place amidst the backdrop of revolutionary France. The image showcases the queen holding court outdoors, surrounded by majestic buildings that symbolize her royal status. Dressed impeccably in her regal attire, she exudes an air of authority and elegance. Mirabeau, on the other hand, stands beside her wearing his signature hat - a man who played a crucial role as one of France's leading political figures during this tumultuous period. Their meeting hints at potential alliances or discussions concerning matters that could shape the destiny of their nation. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this historical snapshot from the 19th century. It highlights not only their contrasting appearances but also emphasizes their shared commitment to navigating through treacherous political waters. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded of how power dynamics can unfold behind closed doors and how individuals like Marie Antoinette and Mirabeau shaped history with each clandestine interaction they had within these fortified walls.
