EDITORS COMMENTS
Charles X, King of France (1757-1836), also known as Charles Ferdinand Alphonse, Duke of Berry and Comte d'Artois, is depicted in this stunning 18th century portrait by French artist Jean-Baptiste Greuze's student, Jean-Baptiste Boizot. The painting, created in 1776, captures the young and vibrant energy of the future monarch, who would later ascend to the throne in 1824 following the abdication of his cousin, King Louis XVIII. At the time of this portrait, Charles X was the Count of Artois, the younger brother of King Louis XVI and the heir to the throne. His regal attire, complete with a red sash and a star-studded collar, signifies his royal status. The artist masterfully portrays the intricacies of the fabric, the delicate folds, and the subtle shading, creating a lifelike and captivating image. The background of the painting is simple yet elegant, with a velvet curtain and a gilded frame adding a sense of grandeur and sophistication. The overall composition is balanced and harmonious, with the sitter's gaze fixed on an unseen point in the distance, exuding a sense of determination and resolve. This portrait of Charles X, King of France, is an essential piece of French royal history, offering a glimpse into the life of a future monarch during a pivotal period in European history. The artistry and craftsmanship of Jean-Baptiste Boizot shine through in this exquisite painting, making it a must-have for any history or art enthusiast's collection.
