About the Item

Marriage of Napoleon and Marie-Louise, 1810 - Galerie historique de Versailles This finely detailed engraving depicts the ceremonial marriage of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte and Marie-Louise, Archduchess of Austria, held on April 2, 1810, at the Palais du Louvre. The composition features the couple at the center of an opulent gathering, surrounded by dignitaries, clergy, and members of the imperial court. The intricately rendered costumes and ceremonial settings highlight the grandeur and significance of this historical event, symbolizing a union between two powerful empires. This print is part of the "Galerie historique de Versailles," a monumental project documenting key moments in French history through visual art. It is not only a testament to the opulence of the Napoleonic era but also offers insights into the interplay of politics, religion, and ceremony during this period. The historical importance and artistic quality make it a valuable piece for collectors interested in Napoleonic history and French art. Designed and engraved by Massard after a painting by Rouget, this engraving was created as part of the series initiated by Charles Gavard in the 19th century. The "Galerie historique de Versailles" stands as a significant effort to preserve French history through the arts, and this piece is an outstanding example of that legacy.

Medieval Matrimony: A Union in the Gothic Halls, Hand-Colored in 1847
Located in Langweer, NL
This print from "Costume Di Moyen Age" (Costumes of the Middle Ages) published in Paris in 1847, depicts a scene from the medieval era. The image features a group of individuals in an indoor setting, likely a part of a noble class, given the richness of their attire and the elegant interior. A central figure in a blue cape with a red lining is in a dialogue or exchange with a person wearing a green and yellow patterned garment. They both are in the foreground and appear to be the primary subjects of this interaction. Behind them, there are other individuals who seem to be part of the scene, including a person in red robes who is possibly a clergyman, given the context and attire, which resembles ecclesiastical clothing. The background is adorned with Gothic architectural elements such as pointed arches and intricate detailing. Statues or figures are set within the architectural framework, suggesting a church or a similarly important building. The use of bright, primary colors is notable, and the attention to the detail in the clothing suggests a significant event, possibly a ceremony like a marriage, as indicated by the word "Casamiento" (meaning marriage in Spanish) at the bottom of the print. Overall, the print is rich in historical clothing...
