This engraving by Dupre, dating back to 1851, depicts King Louis XII of France (1462-1515) in attendance at the States General, an essential legislative assembly in the medieval and early modern European political landscape. The image captures the monarch in the prime of his age, surrounded by a group of esteemed men from the Estates, representing the three main orders of the realm: the clergy, the nobility, and the commoners. Louis XII, a member of the Valois dynasty, is depicted in grandeur, seated on a raised throne, donning the regal attire of the time. The interior of the building, adorned with intricate details and rich colors, reflects the opulence and grandeur of the Old Regime. The scene unfolds in the Estates General, a significant political platform where the monarch would discuss matters of state with his subjects, seeking their approval and support. The engraving, part of the Universal Library's popular editions, offers a glimpse into the historical context of the Middle Ages and the early modern period. It is a testament to the enduring importance of the Estates General in the political landscape of Europe, a time when monarchs relied on the support and cooperation of their subjects to govern effectively. The vibrant colors of the engraving add depth and texture to the scene, making it a captivating visual representation of a crucial moment in European history. This image continues to fascinate historians and enthusiasts alike, offering insights into the political dynamics of the era and the role of the monarchy in shaping the Old Regime.
