EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Portrait of the Dauphin, later King Louis XVII of France" by Gautier d'Agoty. The young prince, born in 1785, is depicted with an air of regality and innocence that befits his royal lineage. As the second son of Louis XVI, he ascended to the title of dauphin following the tragic demise of his older brother in 1789. The portrait captures a moment frozen in time, revealing a glimpse into the life and destiny that awaited this young monarch. Adorned with ostrich plumes atop his head and seated beside a decorative urn amidst a lush rose bush backdrop, every detail exudes elegance and grandeur. However, history tells us that this promising future was cut short as he met an untimely end while imprisoned - some speculate through poisoning. Despite such tragedy surrounding his fate, this image immortalizes him as a symbol of French royalty during tumultuous times. Displayed proudly within private collections around the world, this piece serves as both a testament to artistic mastery and a poignant reminder of one young life lost too soon. It invites viewers to reflect on power dynamics within monarchy and ponder what might have been for King Louis XVII had circumstances been different. Through Bridgeman Images' collaboration with Fine Art Finder and eRafael Valls Gallery in London, we are fortunate enough to witness this remarkable work firsthand – capturing not only its visual beauty but also its historical significance for generations
