Painting Description
"The Last Moments of Charles-Ferdinand of France, 1778-1820, in the Administration Room of the Paris Opera House, 14th February 1820" is an 1828 historical painting by French artist Alexandre Menjaud. This artwork captures a significant event in French history, depicting the final moments of Charles-Ferdinand d'Artois, Duke of Berry, who was the nephew of King Louis XVIII and a prominent figure in the Bourbon Restoration. The Duke was assassinated on the evening of February 13, 1820, by a Bonapartist sympathizer named Louis Pierre Louvel, and he died in the early hours of the following day.
Menjaud's painting is a poignant representation of the tragic scene, set in the administrative room of the Paris Opera House, where the Duke had been attending a performance before the attack. The artwork serves as a historical document, reflecting the political tensions of the era and the impact of the assassination on the monarchy and French society. The painting is noted for its attention to detail, the emotional expressions of the figures, and its dramatic portrayal of the event's aftermath.
The assassination had significant repercussions, leading to increased repression of the liberal press and the opposition under the reign of Louis XVIII, as well as influencing the succession to the French throne. Menjaud's work not only immortalizes the personal tragedy of the Duke's death but also provides insight into the broader political landscape of post-revolutionary France. The painting is an example of the historical genre that was popular in the 19th century, where artists sought to capture and interpret key moments from the past.
As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is considered an important cultural artifact for its artistic and historical value, offering viewers a window into the turbulent period of the Bourbon Restoration. It is a testament to Alexandre Menjaud's skill as a historical painter and his ability to convey a narrative through visual art.
