King Louis XVIII of France, Louis Stanislas Xavier (1755-1824): A Regal Portrait from the "Historical Costumes of France" This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts King Louis XVIII of France, Louis Stanislas Xavier, in regal splendor. The image is taken from the esteemed "Historical Costumes of France" collection, published by Le Bibliophile Jacob, also known as Paul Lacroix, in Paris in 1852. Louis XVIII, born in 1755, was the elder brother of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. He was exiled during the French Revolution but returned to France in 1814 following the abdication of Napoleon Bonaparte. He ruled as King of France until his death in 1824. In this portrait, King Louis XVIII is shown wearing the robes and insignia of the French monarchy. He wears a white shirt, a red waistcoat, and a gold-embroidered blue coat with a white collar and cuffs. The king's chest is adorned with the Order of the Holy Spirit, a prestigious decoration of the French monarchy. A golden crown sits atop his head, symbolizing his royal status. The intricate details of the king's attire and the rich colors of the lithograph are beautifully captured in this image. The artist's skillful use of handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the portrait, making it a stunning representation of the king and the opulence of the French monarchy during this period. This historical portrait offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a valuable record of the appearance and regal bearing of King Louis XVIII of France. It is a testament to the artistic and historical significance of the "Historical Costumes of France" collection and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage it represents.
