EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a pivotal moment in history, known as the Affair of the Queens Necklace. The year is 1785, and Cardinal Louis Rene Edouard de Rohan finds himself standing before King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette of France. The atmosphere is tense as the royal couple cross-examines the cardinal about an infamous necklace that has caused scandal and intrigue throughout the kingdom. In this print from "The story of France told to my grandchildren" by Francois Guizot, we witness a scene filled with drama and suspicion. The artist skillfully portrays the expressions on each character's face - Cardinal de Rohan appears anxious, while King Louis XVI exudes authority, his gaze fixed upon the accused cardinal. Queen Marie Antoinette stands beside her husband, her countenance revealing both curiosity and skepticism. The Affair of the Queens Necklace was a significant event that further tarnished Marie Antoinette's already controversial reputation. It involved an elaborate diamond necklace intended for her but mistakenly acquired by Cardinal de Rohan under false pretenses. This incident became one of many contributing factors to public resentment towards the queen. Through this remarkable engraving by Stefano Bianchetti, we are transported back in time to witness a crucial moment in French history. It serves as a reminder of how power struggles and scandals can shape destinies and alter perceptions forevermore.
