Painting Description
"Child Portraits of Marie-Thérèse-Charlotte of France and Louis-Joseph-Xavier of France" is a notable work by the prominent 18th-century French painter Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, who is renowned for her portraiture and her close association with Queen Marie Antoinette. The painting, created in 1784, captures the royal children at a tender age: Marie-Thérèse-Charlotte (1778–1851), who would later become the Duchess of Angoulême, and her younger brother Louis-Joseph-Xavier (1781–1789), the first Dauphin of France.
Marie-Thérèse-Charlotte, often referred to as "Madame Royale," was the eldest child of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette, and the only one to reach adulthood. Her brother, Louis-Joseph-Xavier, was the second child and heir apparent but tragically died young. The portrait is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context, capturing the innocence of the royal children before the turmoil of the French Revolution that would dramatically alter their lives.
Vigée Le Brun, a favored artist of the French court, was known for her ability to infuse warmth and personality into her portraits. In this work, she demonstrates her skill in portraying the delicate features and expressions of her young subjects, set against a backdrop that reflects their royal status. The painting is a testament to the artist's mastery of color and composition, as well as her ability to convey the poignancy of childhood within the framework of aristocratic portraiture.
The child portraits of Marie-Thérèse-Charlotte and Louis-Joseph-Xavier are held in high esteem for their historical significance and as exquisite examples of Vigée Le Brun's portraiture. They provide a glimpse into the private world of the French monarchy on the eve of revolution and stand as a poignant reminder of the personal stories behind the grand narratives of history.
