EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative print captures a pivotal moment in the waning days of the French monarchy, as the officers of the Garde du Corps, or royal bodyguard, hold a banquet in the grand theatre at Versailles. The year is 1789, and the revolutionary fervor that would soon sweep across France is beginning to make itself felt at the heart of the ancien régime. King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette are present in the theatre, but their attention is focused on the festivities before them. The officers of the Garde du Corps, clad in their ornate uniforms, raise their glasses in a toast to the king and the continued prosperity of the monarchy. But beneath the surface of this seemingly jovial scene, tensions are simmering. The revolutionary tricolor cockade, a symbol of the new revolutionary government, lies discarded on the floor, trampled underfoot by the officers as they revel in the opulence of the royal court. This historical image offers a striking reminder of the turmoil and upheaval that marked the end of the old regime in France. The Garde du Corps banquet at Versailles stands as a poignant symbol of the monarchy's refusal to acknowledge the changing political landscape, and the inevitable clash between the old order and the forces of revolution that was to come." This print is an intriguing glimpse into a pivotal moment in French history, and a powerful reminder of the complex and often tumultuous relationship between the monarchy and the people it governed. It is a must-have for any collection of historical prints, and a fascinating addition to any study of the French Revolution.
