EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the mesmerizing "Allegory of the Birth of the King of Rome, renamed after 1814 Allegory of the Birth of Louis XIV" by Charles Meynier. This neoclassical masterpiece, painted on canvas, measures 45.5x55.4 cm and is housed in the Bibliothèque Paul-Marmottan in Ville de Boulogne-Billancourt, France. The painting depicts a scene filled with symbolism and grandeur. In its center stands a regal figure draped in colorful robes, representing Marie-Louise giving birth to Napoleon II, also known as François Joseph Charles Bonaparte. Surrounding them are mythological goddesses such as Minerva and Athena, donning helmets and shields to protect this royal newborn. This artwork was originally named after the birth of Napoleon's son but was later renamed due to Napoleon I's abdication and the return of Bourbon rule. The legacy behind this piece is further enhanced by its association with Académie des Beaux-Arts through Paul Marmottan's generous donation. Meynier skillfully portrays both historical figures like Louis XIV and mythological elements within this composition. The presence of an eaglet symbolizes power while fleur-de-lys motifs represent royalty. Through meticulous brushstrokes and attention to detail, Meynier creates a captivating study that exudes elegance and wisdom. This painting serves as a reminder not only of significant historical events but also showcases artistic excellence during the neoclassical era. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness an allegorical celebration fit for kings.
