EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic portrait of Marie Antoinette, a woman whose life was marked by opulence, tragedy, and ultimately revolution. The photograph captures her regal beauty and aristocratic poise as she stands before the Revolutionary Court during one of the most tumultuous periods in French history. Marie Antoinette, born an Archduchess of Austria, became Queen of France at a young age when she married Louis XVI. Known for her extravagant lifestyle and lavish spending, she quickly gained notoriety among the French people who were suffering from economic hardships. As tensions rose leading up to the French Revolution in 1789, Marie Antoinette found herself at odds with the growing discontentment of her subjects. The image portrays Marie Antoinette's resilience amidst adversity as she faces judgment at the Revolutionary Court. Her piercing gaze reflects both strength and vulnerability - a queen forced to confront her fate in front of those who sought to dismantle monarchy itself. This historic engraving is taken from "L'histoire des Girondins" by Lamartine, published in 1847. It serves as a powerful reminder of Marie Antoinette's enduring legacy as an emblematic figure during this pivotal era in France's history. Leonard de Selva masterfully captures every intricate detail through his lens, immortalizing this significant moment forever within this remarkable piece of art.
