EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a significant moment in French history, depicting the "Bed of Justice" held by Louis XV in the Grand Chamber of the Parliament of Paris. This event took place on December 9th, 1715, as Louis XV sought to break the will of his predecessor, Louis XIV. Painted by Louis Michel Dumesnil, an artist from the 18th century, this artwork measures approximately 0.75x1.06 meters and is currently housed in Versailles at the Musee du Chateau. The painting showcases intricate details and vibrant colors that bring this historical scene to life. The Bed of Justice was a symbol of royal authority and power during this time period. It was used for important ceremonial occasions such as when a king would address parliament or make crucial decisions regarding governance and law. This particular instance marked an important transition in French monarchy as it signified Louis XV's ascension to power after his grandfather's passing. The image portrays both political intrigue and human drama within the court setting. Through this photograph, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in French history where dynastic struggles were played out against a backdrop of opulence and grandeur. It serves as a reminder of how art can capture not only aesthetic beauty but also convey powerful narratives from our past.
