EDITORS COMMENTS
Madame Elisabeth de France, sister of the King, stands resolute before the guillotine on 10th May 1794. This hauntingly powerful print by Carlo Lasinio captures a pivotal moment in history during the French Revolution. Madame Elisabeth, known for her unwavering loyalty to her brother Louis XVI and her devotion to the monarchy, faces her fate with grace and dignity. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings forth an atmosphere charged with tension and sorrow. The delicate lines of Rococo intertwine with elements of Neoclassicism, reflecting both the opulence of aristocracy and the revolutionary spirit sweeping through France at that time. As a member of the House of Bourbon, Madame Elisabeth became a target for revolutionaries who sought to dismantle centuries-old institutions. The National Convention condemned her as an enemy of the people, leading to her tragic end under the blade of the guillotine. This image serves as a poignant reminder not only of Madame Elisabeth's personal sacrifice but also symbolizes the broader struggle between absolutism and democracy during this tumultuous period in world history. Preserved within British Library's collection, it stands as a testament to fine art's ability to preserve historical narratives and evoke deep emotions.
