"King Charles X 1757-1836 Receiving the Knights of the Saint Esprit at Reims Cathedral on the 30th May" is a historical painting by French artist Jean-Charles Develly, depicting a significant event in the life of Charles X of France. The painting captures the moment when Charles X, who reigned from 1824 to 1830, is in the midst of an elaborate ceremony at the Reims Cathedral, where he is bestowing honors upon the members of the Order of the Holy Spirit (Ordre du Saint-Esprit), one of the most prestigious chivalric orders in France.

The Order of the Holy Spirit, founded by Henry III of France in 1578, was an order of chivalry associated with the French monarchy. Its ceremonies were known for their splendor and were often held at the Reims Cathedral, a traditional site for the coronation of French kings. The event depicted in Develly's painting is of particular historical interest as it represents the pomp and circumstance of the Bourbon Restoration period, during which the French monarchy attempted to re-establish its traditional ceremonies and privileges following the upheaval of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars.

Jean-Charles Develly (1783–1849) was a French porcelain painter and watercolorist known for his detailed and vibrant works. While Develly's oeuvre primarily focused on decorative arts, particularly porcelain designs, his depiction of King Charles X and the Knights of the Saint Esprit at Reims Cathedral is a significant contribution to the historical genre of painting. This work is notable for its intricate representation of the regalia, costumes, and architecture of the period, as well as its portrayal of a royal ceremony that was emblematic of the era's social and political context.

The painting serves as a visual document of the period's aesthetics and royal customs, offering insights into the values and traditions of the French monarchy in the early 19th century. It is a valuable piece for both art historians and those interested in the cultural history of France, reflecting the grandeur of royal ceremonies and the artistic endeavors to capture them during the Bourbon Restoration.
