EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Marie Antoinette at the Conciergerie, circa 1797. The image showcases the last Queen of France during a tumultuous period in history - the French Revolution. In this private collection piece, we witness Marie Antoinette's regal presence juxtaposed against the backdrop of terror and upheaval. The Bourbon nobility is depicted here, reminding us of their opulent lifestyle and association with the Rococo era. As an aristocrat and wife to Louis XVI, known as the Sun King, Marie Antoinette symbolized both power and privilege within the House of Bourbon. However, her fate took a tragic turn when she was captured by revolutionaries during the National Convention. Ultimately guillotined in 1793, she became one of many victims of this turbulent time in French history. This lithograph-turned-watercolor artwork by Gaetano Venzo (1770-1843) offers a unique perspective on Marie Antoinette's portrait. It serves as a poignant reminder not only of her personal story but also reflects broader themes such as absolutism and world history. As we gaze upon this fine art image from Heritage Images' collection, let us remember that it represents more than just a historical figure; it encapsulates an entire era defined by revolution and transformation.
