Painting Description
"The Dauphin in Captivity in 1792" is a historical painting by the 19th-century French artist H. de la Charlerie, whose full name was Henri Félix Emmanuel Philippoteaux. The artwork depicts Louis-Charles, the Dauphin of France, during the period of his imprisonment in the Temple Prison following the upheaval of the French Revolution. Louis-Charles was the son of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette, both of whom were executed in 1793.
The painting is significant for its portrayal of a poignant moment in French history, capturing the isolation and tragic fate of the young prince who was caught in the political turmoil of the time. The Dauphin, who was recognized by royalists as King Louis XVII of France following the death of his father, never reigned and died in captivity at the age of 10 in 1795.
H. de la Charlerie's work is characterized by its attention to historical detail and its emotive representation of its subjects. "The Dauphin in Captivity in 1792" is no exception, as it reflects the somber and uncertain atmosphere of the period. The painting is a testament to the artist's skill in historical painting, a genre that seeks to reconstruct and interpret events from the past.
The artwork serves as both a historical document and a piece of artistic expression, inviting viewers to reflect on the human cost of political upheaval and the vulnerability of those caught within it. It remains an important work for those interested in the French Revolution, royal iconography, and the genre of historical painting.
