EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print by the renowned French artist, Jean-Baptiste Isabey, captures the poignant moment when Louis XVIII, the titular King of France from 1795 to 1814 and again from 1814 to 1815, and from 1815 to 1824, took the throne for the second time in 1814. The image shows Louis in deep contemplation, perhaps reflecting on the tumultuous events that had led him to this point. Born in 1755, Louis had been a key player in the French political scene for decades, having served as a diplomat under Louis XVI and later becoming a regent for his brother, Louis XVII, after the latter's death. However, his reign was short-lived, as Napoleon Bonaparte seized power in 1815, forcing Louis to flee to Ghent. The print depicts Louis in the regal attire of a king, with a solemn expression on his face and his hands clasped in thought. The background shows a grand, ornate throne room, with heavy curtains drawn back to reveal a window looking out onto a verdant landscape. The overall effect is one of quiet determination and resilience in the face of adversity. Louis' second reign, which lasted from 1814 to 1824, was marked by a period of relative stability and restoration of the Bourbon monarchy. However, his reign was not without challenges, including political unrest and economic difficulties. Despite these challenges, Louis remained steadfast in his commitment to the welfare of his people and the preservation of the French monarchy. This beautiful print by Isabey is a testament to the complex and fascinating history of the Bourbon monarchy in France, and serves as a reminder of the enduring power of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
