EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Jean Michel Moreau, the Younger (1741-1814), during the historic Assemblee des Notables presided over by King Louis XVI in 1787. The Assemblee des Notables was an important political gathering in France, convened to discuss financial reforms and address the growing economic crisis. Moreau, a prominent figure in French society and a trusted advisor to the king, is depicted standing to the right of the monarch, wearing the robes of a nobleman. The solemn atmosphere of the assembly is palpable, with the other attendees, mostly clad in black and white, seated around the room. The Palace of Versailles, a symbol of the French monarchy's grandeur and power, serves as the backdrop for this significant moment in French history. The engraving, produced by the Yvelines printing company in France around 1793, captures the European historical context of the late 18th century, a time of great change and upheaval. Moreau's presence at this assembly underscores his role as a key player in the political landscape of the era, making this engraving an essential addition to any collection of European historical imagery.
