Painting Description
"Philippe Égalité (1747–1793), Duke of Orléans and his son Louis-Philippe (1773–1850), Duke of Chartres Leaving for the Hunt, 1788" is a painting by the French artist Carle Vernet (1758–1836). The artwork captures a moment of leisure and aristocratic display, depicting the father-son duo embarking on a traditional aristocratic pastime, the hunt, which was a symbol of noble privilege and power during the Ancien Régime in France.
Philippe Égalité, born Louis Philippe Joseph d'Orléans, was a member of the French royal family and cousin to King Louis XVI. Despite his royal lineage, he was known for his liberal political views and support for the French Revolution. He took the name 'Égalité' to align himself with the revolutionary ideals of equality, but his political maneuvering ultimately led to his downfall and execution during the Reign of Terror in 1793.
His son, Louis-Philippe, Duke of Chartres, later became King Louis-Philippe I, ruling as the "Citizen King" from 1830 to 1848 after the July Revolution. His reign was marked by efforts to create a constitutional monarchy that balanced the interests of the people with those of the aristocracy and bourgeoisie.
Carle Vernet, an accomplished painter and lithographer, was renowned for his depictions of horses and military subjects, as well as for capturing the customs and fashions of his time. This painting not only reflects Vernet's skill in rendering equine subjects and the details of aristocratic life but also serves as a historical document of the period just before the French Revolution, showcasing the opulence and activities of the French nobility.
The painting "Philippe Égalité and Louis-Philippe, Duke of Chartres Leaving for the Hunt, 1788" is significant for its artistic merit and as a representation of the complex social and political landscape of late 18th-century France. It offers insight into the lives of two important historical figures who were deeply involved in the transformative events of their time.
