EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from the 19th century showcases a poignant portrait of Louis XVII, the dauphin of France. The young prince, born as Louis Charles de France in 1785, tragically lived only until the age of ten. Despite his short life, he left an indelible mark on history. The unknown artist behind this masterpiece skillfully captures the innocence and vulnerability of Louis XVII during his childhood years. The intricate details and delicate brushstrokes bring out the youthful charm that radiates from his face. Louis XVII's story is one filled with tragedy and intrigue. As the son of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette, he was destined to inherit the throne but was thrust into a tumultuous period in French history marked by revolution and political upheaval. This lithograph serves as a poignant reminder of a lost era, evoking emotions ranging from admiration for its artistic brilliance to sympathy for the untimely fate that befell this young prince. It offers viewers a glimpse into an extraordinary life cut short too soon. Preserved in a private collection, this print allows us to appreciate Stefano Bianchetti's talent while honoring the memory of Louis XVII – forever known as "the dolphin" – who continues to captivate our imaginations centuries later.
