EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil on canvas painting depicting a poignant moment in French history. Painted in 1817, this masterpiece captures the central detail of the scene that unfolded on the night of March 20, 1815, as King Louis XVIII bid farewell to his people before his exile to Ghent during the Hundred Days period. Napoleon Bonaparte had returned as Emperor of the French, forcing Louis XVIII to flee once again. The painting beautifully portrays the king surrounded by a group of people, including members of the royal family and high-ranking officials, who had gathered to bid him a heartfelt farewell. The room is filled with a subdued, romantic atmosphere, with soft, muted colors dominating the interior scene. The painting is a testament to the tumultuous political climate of the time, as well as the deep connection between the king and his people. The scene inside the Tuileries Palace is filled with emotion, as the crowd gathers around their monarch, offering their support and loyalty. The painting is a powerful reminder of the human element in historical events, as well as the enduring power of the monarchy in the face of adversity. This masterpiece is now housed in the National Museum of Versailles, a fitting location for a painting that captures a pivotal moment in French history. The painting's intricate details and rich colors bring the scene to life, transporting viewers back to the night of March 20, 1815, and the farewell of King Louis XVIII in the Tuileries Palace.
