EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative painting, titled "Oath of the King, Queen, and National Guard to the Fatherland" by Dubois, transports us back to 1791 in France. The scene unfolds at an altar, where King Louis XVI of France, represented by Louis-Auguste, and Queen Marie Antoinette, portrayed by Marie-Louise-Elisabeth of Habsburg-Lotharingen, make a solemn pledge to the country and the National Guard. The King, dressed in royal robes, and the Queen, in an elegant gown, both hold the French flag, symbolizing their commitment to the Fatherland. The National Guard, a vital institution of the armed forces during this period, is depicted as a united and disciplined force, standing at attention, their weapons at the ready. The painting, executed in oil on canvas, is a testament to the historical significance of this moment in French history. It is now housed in the Musee Carnavalet in Paris, a renowned museum showcasing the history of the capital city. This artwork, with its rich colors and intricate details, invites us to reflect on the concepts of monarchy, loyalty, and national unity during a pivotal moment in the eighteenth century.
