Painting Description
"Portrait of Charles X (1757-1836)" is a lithographic work by François Séraphin Delpech, a French lithographer known for his portraits of prominent figures of his time. The portrait depicts Charles X of France, who reigned as King from 1824 to 1830 following the abdication of his elder brother, Louis XVIII. Born Charles-Philippe of France, he was the last of the Bourbon kings to rule France before the July Revolution of 1830, which led to his abdication and the ascension of Louis-Philippe, the "Citizen King."
François Séraphin Delpech (1778–1825) was an influential artist in the development of lithography in France and was renowned for his realistic portrayal of his subjects. His work was instrumental in popularizing lithography as a medium for portraiture in the early 19th century. The "Portrait of Charles X" is an example of Delpech's skill in capturing the likeness and character of his sitters, and it serves as a historical document reflecting the image of the French monarchy during a period of significant political change.
The portrait is notable for its detailed representation of the King's regalia, including his ceremonial robes and decorations, which symbolize the grandeur and authority of the French monarchy. Delpech's attention to texture and light showcases his mastery of the lithographic process, a relatively new art form at the time, which allowed for the wide dissemination of images.
As a historical artifact, the "Portrait of Charles X" provides insight into the political and cultural milieu of early 19th-century France. It is a valuable piece for both art historians studying the evolution of lithographic techniques and for historians interested in the representation of monarchical power and its perception by the public during the Bourbon Restoration.
The portrait is held in various collections and has been the subject of study in the context of French political history and the history of art. It stands as a testament to the skill of François Séraphin Delpech and the complex legacy of King Charles X, whose reign was marked by conservative policies and growing discontent leading to the pivotal July Revolution.
