EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Duc de Berry, who would later become King Louis XVI of France, at the age of 15. Painted by the talented artist Louis Michel van Loo in approximately 1769, this portrait captures the essence of a young monarch on the cusp of his destiny. The Duc de Berry exudes confidence and poise as he poses for this close-up depiction. His ornate dress uniform and wealth are evident through intricate decoration and an opulent sash. The vibrant colors bring life to his youthful face, which is adorned with a charming smile that hints at his promising future. Van Loo's artistry skillfully portrays both the boyish innocence and regal demeanor of this prince-turned-king. The vertical composition emphasizes his stature and royal lineage while highlighting his head and shoulders as symbols of authority. As one gazes upon this portrait, it becomes apparent that it represents more than just a painting; it embodies an entire era -the eighteenth century- characterized by grandeur, wealth, and power. This image serves as a testament to the rich history of France during this period. Housed in Musee National du Chateau in Versailles, France, this print collector's item holds immense historical value. It allows us to glimpse into the past and witness firsthand the transformation from Duke to King - from Louis Capet to Louis XVI - whose reign would ultimately shape French history forever.
