Painting Description
"Portrait of Marie Thérèse Charlotte de France, 1778-1851, Duchess of Angoulême" is an oil painting by the French artist Antoine-Jean Gros, a prominent painter of the Neoclassical and Romantic periods. The portrait, which dates from the early 19th century, captures Marie Thérèse Charlotte, the eldest child of King Louis XVI of France and Marie Antoinette, and a key figure during the turbulent years of the French Revolution and the Restoration.
Marie Thérèse, known as Madame Royale, was the only member of her immediate family to survive the Revolution, enduring the trauma of her parents' and aunt's executions and her own imprisonment. Following her release, she lived in exile until the Bourbon Restoration allowed her to return to France. Her marriage to her cousin, Louis Antoine, Duke of Angoulême, positioned her as a Dauphine and later the Duchess of Angoulême.
Gros's portrait is significant for its historical context and its portrayal of Marie Thérèse as a symbol of Bourbon resilience. The artist, who was a student of Jacques-Louis David and later a court painter for Napoleon, captures the Duchess with a dignified and reserved demeanor, reflecting her royal status and personal history of suffering and endurance. The painting is noted for its fine detail, the richness of color, and the skilled rendering of fabrics and textures, which contribute to the lifelike representation of the sitter.
The work is part of a broader oeuvre by Gros that includes grand historical scenes and portraits of important figures of his time. While Gros is perhaps best known for his large-scale history paintings, his portraits such as this one of the Duchess of Angoulême are also highly regarded for their psychological depth and technical mastery.
The "Portrait of Marie Thérèse Charlotte de France, 1778-1851, Duchess of Angoulême" is not only a work of artistic significance but also a document of the period, offering insight into the personal dimensions of historical events and the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy in France. The painting is held in a collection or museum, where it continues to be studied and appreciated by scholars and the public alike.
