EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the extravagant and scandalous era of the Regency of Philippe II, Duke of Orleans with this print from Auguste Maquet's "History of the Bastille." The image captures an orgiastic dinner at the Palais Royal, where champagne flows freely and scandalous guests mingle in opulent surroundings.
During the early 18th century, lavish feasts were a common occurrence among the French aristocracy, but this particular gathering stands out for its excessive indulgence and debauchery. As guests indulge in fine food and drink, they engage in lively conversation and flirtatious exchanges under the watchful eye of their host.
The setting is richly detailed, with ornate furnishings and elegant decor that reflect the wealth and sophistication of the period. Women dressed in elaborate gowns add a touch of glamour to the scene, their presence enhancing the air of decadence that permeates every aspect of this luxurious affair.
This print offers a glimpse into a world filled with intrigue and excess, where social norms are cast aside in favor of pleasure-seeking pursuits. It serves as a reminder that history is not always prim and proper – sometimes it can be downright scandalous.
