EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Departure of the King, 19 March 1815" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Francois Joseph Heim and engraved by Francois-Louis Couche and Edme Bovinet, this artwork captures the farewell scene as Louis XVIII of France departs from his palace on that fateful day. The image showcases a solemn atmosphere as soldiers bid their goodbyes to their ruler. The king stands tall, exuding regal authority while bowing down graciously to acknowledge his loyal subjects. Behind him, a grand carriage awaits, symbolizing both escape and departure. This print encapsulates the essence of royalty amidst political turmoil. It serves as a poignant reminder of the Hundred Days period when Napoleon Bonaparte returned from exile and briefly reclaimed power before being defeated at Waterloo. Through this artwork, we witness not only an important historical event but also the emotions intertwined with it – loyalty, duty, uncertainty. The artist's attention to detail brings each character to life and allows us to imagine ourselves present during this pivotal moment in French history. Displayed within Bibliothèque Paul-Marmottan in Boulogne-Billancourt, France, this engraving is a testament to the enduring power of art in preserving our collective memory. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who came before us and inspired by their resilience in times of adversity.
