EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Charles-Ferdinand of France in the Costume of a French Prince, painted by Francois Pascal Simon Gerard in 1820. The oil on canvas artwork measures an impressive 241x160 cm and is housed at the Château de Versailles in France. In this regal portrait, Charles-Ferdinand, also known as Duke of Berry, stands tall and proud. He dons an ostentatious plumed hat that adds grandeur to his appearance. His richly adorned gold brocade cape further emphasizes his status and nobility. The artist skillfully captures every detail of the duke's attire, from the intricate patterns on his clothing to the elaborate design of his bust. Charles-Ferdinand exudes confidence and authority as he gazes into the distance with a slight hint of solemnity. Tragically, history tells us that this French prince met a grim fate at the hands of a Bonapartist fanatic who assassinated him. This knowledge lends an air of melancholy to this otherwise majestic depiction. As we admire this remarkable painting, we are transported back to early 19th-century France and given a glimpse into the life and persona of one of its prominent figures. It serves as both a tribute to Charles-Ferdinand's legacy and a testament to Gerard's artistic prowess in capturing not only physical likeness but also conveying emotion through brushstrokes.
