EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Jacob Adam after Antoine-François Callet, we are transported back to the tumultuous era of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette. The engraving on laid paper beautifully captures the regal presence of the royal family during a pivotal moment in history. Louis XVI, with his dignified countenance, stands tall beside his beloved wife, Marie-Antoinette. Their expressions reveal both strength and vulnerability as they navigate the challenges of their reign. The intricate details in their attire reflect the opulence and grandeur associated with French royalty. However, it is impossible to view this image without a sense of foreboding. It was created in 1793, just months before tragedy struck when Louis XVI was executed during the French Revolution. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of power and how quickly fortunes can change. Also present in this composition is young Louis-Charles, their son and heir to the throne. His innocent face hints at an uncertain future that awaits him amidst political turmoil. Quint Lox has masterfully captured not only the physical likeness but also the complex emotions that defined this iconic family's final years together. This print from Liszt Collection allows us to glimpse into history and contemplate its profound impact on individuals who once held immense authority over France.
