EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a pivotal moment in French history - the infamous Affair of the Queen's Necklace. Cardinal Louis Rene Edouard de Rohan stands before King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette, his expression betraying a mix of anxiety and defiance. The scandalous affair, which unfolded between 1785-1786, involved the cardinal being duped into purchasing an extravagant diamond necklace on behalf of the queen, only to later be accused of conspiring against her.
The tension in the room is palpable as the king and queen confront Cardinal de Rohan, their faces revealing a complex array of emotions - suspicion, betrayal, perhaps even pity. The intricate details captured in this 19th-century engraving bring this historical moment to life with remarkable clarity.
As we gaze upon this scene from centuries past, we are reminded of the political intrigue and personal drama that characterized life at court during this tumultuous period in France. The figures depicted here - the powerful monarchs and ambitious clergyman - serve as poignant reminders of how ambition and deception can shape destinies and alter the course of history. This print is not just a work of art; it is a window into a world filled with secrets, scandals, and ultimately tragedy.
