Feminine Franque Louise Marie Versailles Persons Up Right
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil on canvas painting, titled "Marie-Louise and the King of Rome," depicts Marie-Louise Elisabeth of France (1791-1850) and her son, Napoleon II, also known as the King of Rome (1811-1832). The portrait was painted by the renowned French artist, Joseph Franque (1774-1833), around the year 1811. Marie-Louise is depicted in an elegant, feminine dress, with a soft expression on her face as she gazes down at her young son. The King of Rome, dressed in a red military uniform, sits on a velvet cushion in front of his mother, holding a scepter in one hand and a globe in the other. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the painting are a testament to Franque's mastery of the oil medium. This portrait was likely commissioned to celebrate the brief reign of Napoleon II as King of Rome, which lasted only a few months before the defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte at the Battle of Leipzig in 1813. Today, this beautiful work of art is on display at the National Museum of Versailles in France, where it continues to captivate visitors with its historical significance and artistic beauty.
