EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print depicts King Louis XV of France (1710-1774) amidst the aftermath of the Battle of Fontenoy, which took place on May 11, 1745. The battle, a significant engagement during the War of the Austrian Succession, saw the French army, commanded by the Marechal de Saxe (1676-1750), emerge victorious against the Austrian forces. Despite the triumph of the French army, it is intriguing to note that Louis XV himself does not appear to be in command during this moment. Instead, he is portrayed observing the battlefield from a distance, perhaps reflecting on the events that had transpired or considering the strategic implications of the victory. The historical significance of the Battle of Fontenoy lies in its impact on the succession of the Austrian throne. The victory allowed France to secure its position as a major European power and marked the beginning of a period of French dominance in Europe. This print, produced during the 19th century, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a visual representation of a pivotal moment in European history. The image of Louis XV, dressed in his regal attire and surrounded by his soldiers, underscores the grandeur and majesty of the monarchy during this era. The intricate details of the print, from the textured fabric of the king's cloak to the individual expressions of the soldiers in the background, serve to transport the viewer back in time, offering a unique perspective on the events of the Battle of Fontenoy and the role of Louis XV in French history.
