EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Philippe II, Duc d'Orleans (1674-1723), Regent of France (1715-1723), in the Cabinet of the Grand Dauphin at the Versailles Palace in 1723. The image captures a moment of quiet reflection as the Duke, dressed in elegant attire, sits at a desk in his ornate chamber. The cold, drafty room is filled with an air of seriousness and importance, as the Duke pens important documents for the absolute monarchy of France. The Duke's regency began following the death of King Louis XIV in 1715, and he ruled as regent for his grandson, Louis XV, who was only five years old at the time. The Cabinet of the Grand Dauphin, located in the Palace of Versailles, was the office where the Duke conducted the business of the realm. The scene is set against the backdrop of the grandeur and opulence of the Versailles Palace, a symbol of the absolute monarchy and its power. The Duke's regal attire, complete with a suit of clothes adorned with intricate patterns and rich fabrics, underscores his position as a powerful and influential figure in French history. The presence of a dog in the image adds a touch of warmth and humanity to the otherwise formal and serious scene. The print offers a glimpse into the daily life of a French regent during the absolutist period, a time when the monarchy held absolute power and control over the lives of its subjects. This historical print, from the National Museum of Versailles, is a testament to the grandeur and intrigue of the French court during the early 18th century. It invites us to explore the world of the French monarchy and the powerful figures who shaped its history.
