EDITORS COMMENTS
The Departure of Elisabeth of France for Spain," an oil on panel painting by Eugène Isabey, captures a poignant moment in European history. Painted in the mid-19th century, this work showcases Isabey's mastery of the Romantic style, with its amorini, cherubs, and putti gracing the background. Isabey, a French artist, began his career painting marine scenes with Eugène Delacroix and Richard Parkes Bonington in both France and England. However, he later shifted his focus to historical genre subjects, as depicted in this painting. The scene portrays Elisabeth of Valois, also known as Isabelle de Valois, bidding farewell to her homeland as she departs for Spain to marry King Philip II. The queen, dressed in a magnificent bridal gown, sits in a horse-drawn carriage, her face a mix of sadness and determination. Her courtiers and attendants follow behind, some fainting at the sight of their beloved monarch leaving. The colorful scene transports us back to the 16th century, with the horse-drawn carriage making its way down the road, leaving Europe behind. The queen's reluctance to leave is palpable, as she casts one last, longing look at her homeland. The painting's rich details, from the intricate designs on the queen's dress to the expressions on the faces of the bystanders, make for a captivating and emotional work of art. This painting, a testament to the heritage of European art, is a must-see for any art lover or history buff. Its romanticism and intricate details make it a timeless piece that continues to captivate audiences today.
