"King Louis XVI (1754-93) Swearing on the Book of the Constitution, 14th September 1791" is a historical painting by the French artist H. de la Charlerie, whose full name is Henri Félix Emmanuel Philippoteaux (1815–1884), often known for his works depicting significant events in French history. The painting captures a pivotal moment during the French Revolution when King Louis XVI, under considerable political pressure, took an oath to uphold the newly drafted Constitution of 1791, which marked the establishment of a constitutional monarchy in France.

The artwork serves as a visual representation of the complex political dynamics of the time, illustrating the tension between the old monarchical order and the emerging revolutionary ideals. The scene depicted in the painting is charged with symbolism, as the act of swearing on the constitution signified the king's reluctant acceptance of the limitations placed on his power by the National Assembly, which sought to create a more democratic form of governance.

In the painting, Louis XVI is portrayed surrounded by key figures of the revolution and members of the Assembly, emphasizing the collective witness to the oath and the significance of the event. The artist's attention to detail in the expressions and postures of the characters conveys the gravity of the moment and the varying sentiments towards the constitutional changes.

While the painting is an important cultural artifact that provides insight into the era's political and social climate, it also reflects the artist's interpretation and the broader 19th-century perspective on the French Revolution. As a historical piece, it offers viewers a chance to engage with the visual narrative of one of the most transformative periods in French history.

Henri de la Charlerie's work is a testament to the enduring fascination with the French Revolution and its key moments, and it continues to be studied by historians and art enthusiasts alike for its portrayal of the complexities of revolutionary change and the figure of King Louis XVI at a crossroads between monarchy and revolution.
