EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "The Royal Family Take Refuge in the Assembly" we are transported back to a tumultuous period in history. The image depicts King Louis XVI, Queen Marie Antoinette, and their children seeking refuge within the walls of the Assembly during a time of great danger. As fear and uncertainty loom over them, the royal family huddles together for protection. The children cling to their parents, finding solace in their presence amidst the chaos that surrounds them. Their expressions reveal both fear and determination as they navigate through this treacherous chapter of their lives. The Tuileries Palace serves as a backdrop to this scene, symbolizing not only their physical hiding place but also representing the crumbling monarchy that once stood tall. It is here that they find temporary safety from those who wish harm upon them. Surrounded by loyal household servants who stand guard with unwavering loyalty, Marie Antoinette assumes her role as mother and protector. In her eyes lies an unyielding love for her family, willing to do whatever it takes to shield them from harm's way. This poignant artwork captures a moment frozen in time - one filled with apprehension yet also resilience. It reminds us of the fragility of power and how even those at its pinnacle can be reduced to vulnerability when faced with imminent danger.
