EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking engraving captures the essence of Charles Alexandre de Calonne, the controller of the Finances of Louis XVI from 1783 to 1787. Created by Levachez after Elisabeth Vigee Lebrun in 1787, this portrait exudes power and authority.
Calonne's piercing gaze and confident posture convey a sense of determination and leadership. His finely detailed attire reflects his status as a prominent figure in French politics during the late 18th century.
As one of the key figures in managing France's finances during a tumultuous period leading up to the French Revolution, Calonne faced immense challenges and scrutiny. Despite his efforts to reform the country's economic policies, he ultimately fell out of favor with both King Louis XVI and the public.
This print serves as a reminder of Calonne's significant role in shaping France's financial landscape before it was forever changed by revolution. The intricate details captured by Levachez and Vigee Lebrun bring this historical figure to life, allowing us to glimpse into the past and appreciate his legacy.
Whether displayed in a gallery or private collection, this engraving is sure to spark curiosity and admiration for Charles Alexandre de Calonne and his contributions to French history.
