EDITORS COMMENTS
Queen Marie Antoinette of France (1755-1793) in court dress, ca 1778. A captivating portrait captured in this exquisite copper engraving from a private collection. The image showcases the epitome of aristocracy and opulence during the reign of the Bourbon dynasty. Marie Antoinette, known for her extravagant fashion choices, is depicted here adorned in a resplendent court dress that reflects the grandeur and sophistication of the Rococo era. Her regal presence exudes power and elegance as she stands confidently before us. This print not only captures Marie Antoinette's beauty but also serves as a poignant reminder of her tragic fate. As history unfolded, she became an unwitting symbol of absolutism and excess, ultimately falling victim to the guillotine during the French Revolution. The House of Bourbon's rule over France was marked by both splendor and turmoil. This portrait encapsulates that dichotomy - a moment frozen in time when monarchy clashed with revolution. As we gaze upon this fine art image, we are transported back to an era where nobility reigned supreme under Louis XVI's Sun King influence. It offers us a glimpse into French history at its most pivotal point - just before it descended into chaos with the rise of terror and subsequent overthrowing of traditional institutions by the National Convention. Let this remarkable print serve as a testament to Queen Marie Antoinette's enduring legacy within world history – forever remembered for her style, grace, and untimely demise
