Painting Description
"Portrait of Charles V, Called The Wise King of France 1337-80" is an exquisite engraving created by Madame de Cernel in 1789, based on the work of Antoine Louis François Sergent-Marceau. This piece is a significant representation of Charles V of France, who reigned from 1364 until his death in 1380. Known as "Charles the Wise," he was a monarch celebrated for his intellectual prowess, administrative reforms, and efforts to stabilize and strengthen the French monarchy during a period marked by the Hundred Years' War.
The engraving by Madame de Cernel captures the regal and contemplative nature of Charles V, reflecting the king's reputation for wisdom and strategic acumen. Sergent-Marceau, an accomplished artist of the late 18th century, was known for his detailed and expressive works, which often depicted historical and political figures with a sense of grandeur and dignity. His collaboration with Madame de Cernel, who executed the engraving, resulted in a piece that not only serves as a historical document but also as a work of art that conveys the essence of the monarch's character.
The portrait is notable for its intricate detailing and the use of shading to create depth and texture, which highlight the king's noble features and the elaborate attire of the period. The engraving is a testament to the skill and artistry of both Sergent-Marceau and Madame de Cernel, showcasing their ability to immortalize historical figures through their craft.
This work is also significant in the context of the late 18th century, a time when France was on the cusp of revolutionary change. The portrayal of a revered historical king like Charles V could be seen as a reflection on the values and governance of the past, offering a contrast to the turbulent political landscape of the time. The engraving remains an important piece for both art historians and those interested in the legacy of French monarchs, providing insight into the artistic and cultural milieu of the late 18th century.
