"Les Enfants d'Edouard" (The Princes in the Tower) is a painting by the French artist Paul Delaroche, completed in 1830. This work is a poignant representation of the historical mystery surrounding the disappearance of the two young princes, Edward V of England and his brother Richard of Shrewsbury, Duke of York. The painting captures the moment when the princes, confined in the Tower of London, sense their impending doom.

Delaroche, known for his dramatic and detailed historical scenes, employs a Romantic style to evoke emotion and tension. The composition centers on the two boys, depicted with a sense of innocence and vulnerability. They are shown in a dimly lit room, their expressions a mixture of fear and resignation. The artist uses light and shadow effectively to highlight their faces, drawing the viewer's attention to their plight.

The historical context of the painting is rooted in the late 15th century, during the tumultuous period of the Wars of the Roses. After the death of their father, King Edward IV, the princes were declared illegitimate by their uncle, Richard III, who subsequently took the throne. The boys were last seen in the Tower of London, and their fate remains one of England's enduring historical mysteries.

Delaroche's work reflects the 19th-century fascination with historical subjects and the Romantic era's interest in themes of innocence and tragedy. The painting was well-received in its time, contributing to Delaroche's reputation as a master of historical drama.

Today, "Les Enfants d'Edouard" is appreciated not only for its artistic merit but also for its ability to capture a moment of historical intrigue. It remains a significant example of Delaroche's skill in blending historical narrative with emotional depth.
