"Charles X 1757-1836" is a notable oil painting by the French artist Baron François Gérard, who was a prominent portraitist during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The painting, which dates from the early 19th century, depicts Charles X of France, who reigned as King from 1824 to 1830 following the Bourbon Restoration. Charles X, born Charles-Philippe, was the younger brother of King Louis XVI and King Louis XVIII.

François Gérard, born François Pascal Simon Gérard (1770–1837), was a French painter and engraver known for his portraits of the French aristocracy and figures associated with the Napoleonic era. He became one of the most sought-after portraitists of his time, earning the nickname 'the painter of kings and the king of painters'. Gérard's style was characterized by its fine detail, elegance, and the portrayal of his subjects with a certain idealized grace.

The painting "Charles X 1757-1836" is significant for its historical and artistic value, capturing the visage of a French monarch whose reign was marked by conservative policies and ultimately, the July Revolution of 1830, which led to his abdication. Gérard's depiction of Charles X is a testament to the artist's skill in rendering the dignity and regality of his royal subjects, while also providing a window into the aesthetics and ideological underpinnings of the Bourbon Restoration period.

The artwork is a part of the collection of the Palace of Versailles, a fitting location given its historical ties to French royalty. As a work by Baron François Gérard, it exemplifies the neoclassical style that dominated European art in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, characterized by an emphasis on clarity, order, and symmetry, which can be seen in the poised and formal representation of the monarch.

The painting is not only a representation of Charles X but also serves as an important cultural artifact, reflecting the political climate of the time and the role of portraiture in reinforcing monarchical authority. It remains an important piece for scholars studying the period, the Bourbon monarchy, and the evolution of French portraiture.
