EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the regal presence of Louis Philippe, King of France (1773-1850), also known as the "Citizen King." Born into the House of Orléans, Louis Philippe rose to power during the July Revolution of 1830, which overthrew King Charles X. Unlike his predecessor, Louis Philippe embraced the ideals of the revolution and ruled as a constitutional monarch, granting civil liberties and religious freedom to the people of France. The image, dating from around 1835, shows Louis Philippe in the prime of his reign, dressed in the robes of a monarch. His expression is serious yet approachable, reflecting his commitment to governance and his connection to the people. The background is simple, drawing focus to the king's face and attire. Louis Philippe's reign, which lasted from 1830 to 1848, was marked by relative stability and economic prosperity. However, his popularity waned in the later years due to his support of the Catholic Church and his handling of the June Days Uprising in 1848. Ultimately, the revolutionaries succeeded in overthrowing him, and he went into exile in England. This portrait is a testament to the complex and intriguing history of the "Citizen King" of France, a monarch who ruled during a time of great change and upheaval in European history. The image, with its rich details and evocative composition, invites us to explore the life and legacy of this fascinating historical figure.
