Fireworks Light Up the Night Sky over the River Seine in Paris: A Grand Celebration of the Marriage of Princess Louise Elisabeth of France and Infante Philip of Spain This stunning print captures the breathtaking scene of fireworks exploding over the River Seine in Paris on the night of August 29, 1739. The occasion for this grand celebration was the marriage of Princess Louise Elisabeth of France, the eldest daughter of King Louis XV, to Infante Philip, the younger son of King Philip V of Spain. The young princess was only 12 years old at the time, while Infante Philip was 19. The festivities were a true spectacle, with the city coming alive with decorations, illuminations, and celebrations. The bridge over the Seine was adorned with lights, and the river was filled with boats, all joining in the merriment of the royal union. The fireworks display was a highlight of the night, lighting up the dark sky with their brilliant colors and dazzling patterns. This beautiful print is part of a set of plates published in a large folio by P.G. Le Mercier in Paris in 1740. The intricate detail and vibrant colors showcase the grandeur and opulence of the celebration, transporting us back in time to this historical moment in French and European history.
