EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in French history - Louis XVI at the Assemblée des Notables, Convocation of the States General. The image depicts a critical turning point for the monarchy and reflects the political crisis that arose due to Louis XVI's royal absolutism. In 1787, amidst growing discontentment with his rule, Louis XVI was forced to convene the Assemblée des Notables. This assembly consisted of notable figures from various sectors of society who were called upon to advise on matters of state. However, it soon became clear that this convocation was merely a reaction to public outcry against the king's absolute power. The recall of Jacques Necker, an influential finance minister who had been dismissed by Louis XVI earlier, further intensified tensions during this period. Necker was seen as sympathetic towards popular demands for reform and his return symbolized hope for change among those disillusioned with royal absolutism. Ambroise Tardieu skillfully captured this historic scene in his drawing and engraving from 1825. His attention to detail brings out the grandeur and significance of this momentous event. Today, this artwork serves as a reminder of France's struggle for political transformation during the late 18th century. Stefano Bianchetti has preserved this invaluable piece in their private collection, ensuring its historical importance endures through time.
