Painting Description
"Monsieur de Liancourt 1747-1827 telling Louis XVI 1754-93 at Versailles of the events in Paris on 14th July 1789" is a historical print created by French artist Jean-François Janinet. The print depicts a significant moment during the French Revolution when François Alexandre Frédéric, duc de La Rochefoucauld-Liancourt, informed King Louis XVI of the storming of the Bastille in Paris. The event marked the beginning of the French Revolution, a period of social and political upheaval in France that lasted from 1789 until 1799.
The artwork captures the urgency and gravity of the moment, as the Duke of Liancourt delivers the news of the uprising to the monarch at the Palace of Versailles. Louis XVI's reaction to the news is famously understated, as he is said to have asked, "Is it a revolt?" to which Liancourt replied, "No, sire, it is a revolution." This exchange highlights the king's initial underestimation of the events unfolding in Paris and their significance for his reign and the future of France.
Jean-François Janinet was known for his mastery of color engraving and aquatint, and his works often reflected the political and social climate of his time. "Monsieur de Liancourt telling Louis XVI at Versailles of the events in Paris on 14th July 1789" serves as a visual documentation of a pivotal moment in French history, as well as an example of the artist's skill in capturing the nuances of such events.
The print is an important cultural artifact, providing insight into the historical context of the French Revolution and the role of art in documenting and interpreting historical events. It remains a subject of interest for historians, art enthusiasts, and those studying the French Revolution and its impact on the world.
