EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures Louis XVIII of France, born Louis-Stanislas-Xavier (1755-1824), in his capacity as the Count of Provence before his reign as King of France from 1814 to 1824. Although Louis XVIII claimed his reign began in 1795, following the overthrow of his brother, King Louis XVI, this image was likely taken during his later years as Count of Provence, prior to his restoration to the throne. Born into the Bourbon dynasty, Louis XVIII spent much of his early life in exile following the French Revolution. He lived in England, where he was known for his extravagant lifestyle and his efforts to maintain the appearance of a French monarch in exile. This image showcases his regal bearing and elegant attire, with his piercing gaze fixed directly on the viewer. The portrait is a testament to the complex political landscape of late 18th and early 19th century Europe, as well as the enduring allure of the French monarchy. Despite the challenges and upheavals of the Revolution and its aftermath, Louis XVIII was able to reclaim the throne and restore a sense of stability to France. This image serves as a reminder of his tenure and the historical significance of the Bourbon dynasty in French history. Mary Evans Picture Library's extensive collection of historical images offers a wealth of insights into the people, events, and cultures of the past. This portrait of Louis XVIII as the Count of Provence is a prime example of the rich and varied offerings available, providing a glimpse into the life of a monarch whose reign was marked by both challenge and triumph.
