"Louis Philippe I: A King of the People and a Symbol of Change" In this captivating painting from 1836, we witness Louis Philippe I, the last King of France, as he distributes flags to the National Guard in Paris on August 29th, 1830. This act symbolizes his commitment to the people and their aspirations for a more democratic society. Another remarkable artwork showcases Louis-Philippe and his family peacefully sailing along the Neuilly river in 1822. The oil on canvas captures a serene moment where royalty embraces simplicity and leisure. A miniature painting from around 1830-1848 portrays Louis-Philippe standing between Marie-Amelie of Bourbon and Princess Adelaide d'Orleans. Their regal attire reflects an era of elegance while hinting at political alliances that shaped French history. The Tuileries Palace witnessed another significant event when Louis Philippe bestowed a red biretta upon Archbishop Jean Louis Cheverus in March 1837. This painting immortalizes their encounter, highlighting both religious influence and royal patronage. A delicate miniature portrait dating back to 1827 depicts Louis-Philippe as King of the French. Its intricate details capture his dignified presence while emphasizing his role as a ruler during this transformative period. An evocative lithograph urges citizens to "Give alms to the last of your kings. " It serves as a reminder that despite societal changes, compassion should prevail even towards those who have lost power. In an oil-on-canvas masterpiece from 1834, we witness members of the Chamber of Deputies presenting Louis Philippe with an act calling him to ascend the throne alongside the Charter of 1830. This pivotal moment solidifies his reign amidst political turbulence. A striking lithograph from 1825 portrays Louis Philippe's likeness with great detail—a testament to how he was perceived by artists during his time on the throne. An engraving humorously depicts the victors of the July 1830 Revolution sharing ministerial positions.
