EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the elegance and refinement of Charles Ferdinand, Duke of Berry (1778-1820), the eldest son of King Charles X of France. Born in Versailles in 1778, the Duke was a prominent figure in French royalty during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Duke is depicted in the prime of his life, wearing an ornate wig and a sumptuous robe, signifying his noble status. His piercing gaze and confident posture exude a sense of authority and charisma. The intricate details of his attire, from the embroidered cuffs to the decorative buttons, reflect the opulence of the French court. At the time of this portrait, the Duke was residing in Sicily, having been exiled from France following the July Revolution of 1830. Despite his exile, he continued to hold significant influence over French politics and was a key figure in the Carbonari, a secret society that sought to overthrow the new regime. The Duke's life was tragically cut short when he was assassinated in the Palace of the Tuileries in Paris in 1820. His death marked the end of the Bourbon monarchy in France and paved the way for the rise of the July Monarchy. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a fascinating historical figure, whose legacy continues to shape French history. The intricacies of his attire, the intensity of his gaze, and the sense of regal bearing all combine to create a captivating image that transports us back in time to the opulent world of the French court.
