Louis XVIII Flees: The Hasty Departure from the Palais des Tuileries (March 19, 1815) This evocative image captures the moment when King Louis XVIII of France, upon learning of Napoleon Bonaparte's return from Elba, quickly and discreetly departed from the Palais des Tuileries in Paris. The date was March 19, 1815, and the news of Napoleon's escape had sent shockwaves through the French monarchy and the populace. Louis XVIII, who had only recently ascended to the throne after the abdication of Napoleon in 1814, is depicted here in the act of bidding farewell to the palace, surrounded by a throng of courtiers and officials, all bowing and scraping in deference to their monarch. The king's expression is one of determination and resolve, as he prepares to lead his followers in a hasty retreat from the city. The Palais des Tuileries, a grand palace located on the right bank of the Seine River in the heart of Paris, had been the royal residence since the time of Catherine de Medici in the 16th century. It was here that Louis XVIII had taken refuge after his brother, King Charles X, had abdicated in favor of the Bourbon monarch. But with the return of Napoleon, the palace became an increasingly dangerous place to be. The image is a testament to the tumultuous political climate of the time, as well as the enduring tradition of courtly protocol and deference to the monarchy. It is a poignant reminder of the fragile nature of power and the constant threat of upheaval that characterized the early 19th century in Europe. This print, from the extensive archives of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into a pivotal moment in French history, and serves as a powerful reminder of the complex and often unpredictable nature of political power and the human response to crisis.
