EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the flight of the royal family during the French Revolution. Depicted in this anonymous watercolor from the late 18th century, we see King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette attempting to escape to Varenne on June 20 and 21,1791. In this scene, King Louis XVI is seen styling Queen Marie Antoinette's hair as they prepare for their daring escape. The queen was meant to leave with a false passport disguised as the governess of Baroness Korff's children. This clever ruse was an attempt to deceive those who sought to capture them. The intricate engraving showcases not only the attention to detail but also serves as a satirical commentary on their desperate situation. It highlights elements such as a mirror reflecting both royalty and revolution, symbolizing the stark contrast between their opulent lifestyle and the turmoil unfolding outside palace walls. This historical artifact provides us with insight into one of history's most turbulent periods - the French Revolution. It offers glimpses into how even those at the highest echelons of society were affected by its sweeping changes. Preserved within Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France, this photograph allows us to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance. As we delve deeper into this image, we are reminded of how power can be fleeting and that even kings and queens are not immune from facing adversity during times of revolution.
