Painting Description
"Charles Ferdinand of France 1778-1820 in the Costume of a French Prince" is an oil painting by Baron François Gérard, a prominent French painter of the Neoclassical period. The artwork is a portrait of Charles Ferdinand, Duke of Berry, a member of the French royal family and the younger son of Charles X of France. Born in 1778, Charles Ferdinand was a significant figure during the Bourbon Restoration following the fall of Napoleon Bonaparte.
Baron François Gérard (1770–1837) was one of the most esteemed portraitists of his time, known for his depictions of the European aristocracy, including Napoleon and members of the French court. His style combined the grandeur of Neoclassicism with a keen eye for psychological depth and character, making his portraits highly sought after.
In this particular work, Gérard captures Charles Ferdinand in the regalia of a French prince, showcasing the opulence and formality of the Bourbon court. The painting is notable for its meticulous attention to detail, from the sumptuous fabrics and intricate embroidery of the prince's costume to the dignified yet approachable expression on his face, which reflects the dual nature of his public persona as both a royal figure and a human being.
The portrait of Charles Ferdinand is an important historical document, as it provides insight into the fashion and aesthetics of the French monarchy during a period of political restoration and change. It also serves as a testament to Gérard's mastery of portraiture and his ability to convey the grandeur and elegance of his subjects.
The painting is held in a collection that has not been widely publicized, and as such, it has not been the subject of extensive scholarly research or public exhibition. Nonetheless, it remains a significant work within Gérard's oeuvre and an important piece of cultural heritage from the Bourbon Restoration era.
