EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history as Queen Marie Caroline of Naples, also known as Maria Carolina of Austria, flees her beloved city to seek refuge in Sicily during the French occupation in 1798. The image, illustrated by Tancredi Scarpelli and taken from Paolo Giudici's "Storia d'Italia" (Italy) published in 1930, showcases the queen's determination and resilience amidst political turmoil. Marie Caroline, a member of the Austrian Habsburg dynasty and sister to Marie Antoinette, faced immense challenges during her reign as queen consort of Naples. As the French army invaded Naples, she made the difficult decision to leave behind her homeland and escape with her family to Sicily. This illustration beautifully depicts her departure from Naples under duress but with an air of regality. The composition exudes a sense of urgency through its dramatic lighting and attention to detail. Marie Caroline is depicted wearing elegant attire befitting royalty while surrounded by loyal attendants who accompany her on this treacherous journey. Her determined expression reflects both courage and concern for the future. This historical photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals caught up in times of war and upheaval. It immortalizes Queen Marie Caroline's bravery as she sought sanctuary for herself and her loved ones amidst uncertain times.
