EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in history - the death of Louis XIV, the King of France, at Versailles on September 1,1715. Presented by his governess, Madame de Ventadour, the young Duke of Anjou bids farewell to his great-grandfather and predecessor before Francoise Aubigne, Marquise de Maintenon (also known as Madame de Maintenon), offers her final words. Louis XIV was famously known as the Sun King or Louis the Great and reigned from 1638 until his passing in 1715. His reign marked a period of immense cultural and political significance for France. As one of Europe's longest-serving monarchs, he left an indelible mark on French history. In this engraving from "L'histoire de France racontée à mes grand-enfants" by Francois Guizot (1872-1876), we witness a solemn scene filled with emotion and symbolism. The somber atmosphere is palpable as generations come together to bid farewell to a ruler who shaped their lives. The image serves as a reminder of both mortality and legacy. It encapsulates the passing of power from one generation to another while honoring the memory of a king whose influence extended far beyond his lifetime. Through this photograph print, we are transported back in time to witness an intimate moment that forever altered French history - marking not only the end of an era but also heralding new beginnings for future generations under Louis XV's rule.
