EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Examination of Louis XVI, King of France, who was arrested at Varennes on 21 June 1791. In a desperate attempt to escape with his family during the tumultuous French Revolution, the royal family donned disguises and attempted to flee the country. However, their plans were foiled and they were apprehended by authorities.
The painting depicts Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette being questioned and interrogated following their capture. The tension in the room is palpable as they face scrutiny for their failed escape attempt. The expressions on their faces reveal a mix of fear, defiance, and resignation as they come to terms with the consequences of their actions.
Displayed at the Paris Salon in 1884, this powerful image serves as a reminder of the fallibility of even those born into privilege and power. It captures a moment when royalty was brought down from its pedestal and held accountable for its actions.
As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we are reminded of the turbulent era that shaped modern France and forever altered the course of history. The Examination of Louis XVI at Varennes stands as a poignant symbol of revolution, rebellion, and ultimately redemption.
