Painting Description
"Marie-Antoinette and her Children, detail of Louis-Joseph-Xavier 1781-89" is a significant portion of a larger painting by the renowned French artist Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, who was the official portraitist of Marie-Antoinette. The painting, known in full as "Marie-Antoinette and Her Children," was completed in 1787 and is considered one of Vigée Le Brun's masterpieces. It depicts the Queen of France, Marie-Antoinette, seated with her three children: Marie-Thérèse, Louis-Charles (who would later be known as Louis XVII), and the focal point of the detail, Louis-Joseph-Xavier, the Dauphin of France at the time.
This particular detail of the painting captures Louis-Joseph-Xavier, who was born in 1781 and died prematurely in 1789, just two years after the painting was completed. The portrayal of the Dauphin is emblematic of the innocence and vulnerability of the royal children amidst the growing political unrest leading up to the French Revolution. Vigée Le Brun's work is notable for its tender representation of the royal family, which aimed to evoke sympathy and support for the monarchy by emphasizing their humanity and familial bonds.
The painting is housed in the Palace of Versailles, a fitting location given its historical significance and connection to the royal family. As a whole, "Marie-Antoinette and Her Children" is a poignant reminder of the personal and political narratives intertwined within the fabric of French history, and the detail of Louis-Joseph-Xavier serves as a touching tribute to the young prince whose life was cut short by illness amidst a turbulent period for his family and nation.
