Louis Carrogis Carmontelle (1717-1806) was a French dramatist and painter known for his detailed watercolours and miniature portraits, but more fondly remembered for his ingenious mechanical theatres. His work, "Carmontelle (1717-1806) giving the Keys of the Parc Monceau in Paris to the Duke of Chartres (1747-93)" is a notable example of his oeuvre.

In this piece, Carmontelle visually narrates a momentous event in 18th-century Parisian social history. The painting portrays Carmontelle himself handing over the keys of the Parc Monceau, a prominent Parisian park which he designed and landscaped, to his patron Louis Philippe II, Duke of Chartres (1747-93). An advocate of the English-style garden, Carmontelle infused Parc Monceau with a mixture of natural and fantastical elements which are remarkably illustrated in the detailed backdrop of the art piece.

The painting bears testimony to Carmontelle's skills in using visual cues to underscore the symbolic significance of the depicted event; the handover of the Parc Monceau signified both a creative achievement for Carmontelle and a new phase of enlightened social culture for Parisian aristocracy. The Duke of Chartres, who later became known as Philippe Égalité during the French Revolution, was a significant figure of influence and this instance epitomised his patronage of the arts and participation in Enlightened sociability.

Carmontelle's work demonstrates his capacity to craft a remarkable scene steeped in historical context while also highlighting a pivot in Parisian leisure and society of the 18th century. It remains a significant testament to the allure of the Parc Monceau and its sustained legacy in Paris's cultural landscape until today.
