EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the elegance and grace of Marie Amélie of Bourbon, Queen of France and wife of King Louis Philippe (r. 1830-1848). The image, taken in the 1840s, showcases Marie Amélie's refined beauty and regal bearing. Her expressive eyes convey a sense of intelligence and depth, while her delicate features and elegant hairstyle reflect the fashionable standards of the time. Marie Amélie was born on October 26, 1782, in Palermo, Sicily, as the daughter of Charles, Duke of Berry, and Marie-Caroline of Austria. She was raised in the court of Naples and later married Louis Philippe, Duke of Orléans, in 1809. After the abdication of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1814, Louis Philippe became the King of the French, and Marie Amélie became the Queen Consort. Despite the political turmoil and instability of the time, Marie Amélie remained a steadfast and devoted wife and mother. She was known for her charitable works, her patronage of the arts, and her support of her husband's reign. Her popularity among the French people was such that she was often referred to as the "People's Queen." This portrait, with its intricate detail and masterful execution, offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who played an important role in French history. Marie Amélie's legacy continues to inspire and captivate, making this image a treasured addition to any collection of royal portraits or historical art.
