From Tableaux de la révolution: A collection of eighteenth and nineteenth century French, German, English, Italian and Austrian prints related to the French Revolution, bound in four volumes. Portrait of Louis XVI in an oval medallion with an illustration of his execution below it. The image of his execution below the medallion depicts the scaffold on the Place de la Révolution surrounded by a crowd of National Guardsmen and onlookers. Louis XVI (1754 – 1793) was a Bourbon monarch who ruled as King of France and Navarre until 1791, and then as King of the French from 1791 to 1792, before being executed in 1793. Joseph Boze (1746- 1826), a French portrait and miniature painter, was born at Les Martigues (Bouches-du-Rhône. He painted the portraits of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, and, being devoted to the court and the royal family, narrowly escaped the guillotine. He was thrown into prison, but the fall of Robespierre set him at liberty, and he came to England, where he remained until the restoration. He died in Paris in . His own portrait is among his drawings in the Louvre. |
