EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the Dukes of Montpensier (Antoine d Orleans) and Beaujolais (Louis-Charles d Orleans) at Fort Saint-Jean in Marseille during 1793. The engraving is featured in Alphonse de Lamartine's renowned work "Histoire des Girondins" from 1865-1866, now held privately by an anonymous collector. In this intriguing scene, we witness the juxtaposition of aristocracy and military power. The two young dukes stand side by side, their noble lineage evident even amidst the chaos of the French Revolution. Their presence within the fortified walls of Fort Saint-Jean suggests that they may have been taken as prisoners or perhaps were fulfilling some other role within this historic location. The image evokes a sense of mystery and intrigue as we ponder what fate awaited these young men during such tumultuous times. It also serves as a reminder of the profound impact that revolution had on all levels of society, including those born into privilege. Stefano Bianchetti's masterful engraving beautifully captures every detail with precision and depth. Through his skillful use of light and shadow, he brings to life this historical moment for us to contemplate centuries later. This print is not only a visual delight but also an invitation to delve deeper into the complexities of French history during one its most transformative periods - making it a valuable addition to any art collection or historical
