Marie Antoinette gevangen in de Tour du Temple 1821 - 1869

"Marie Antoinette gevangen in de Tour du Temple" is a lithograph created by Belgian artist Charles Augustin Wauters between 1821 and 1869. The artwork depicts Marie Antoinette, the former Queen of France, in a prison cell. The scene is somber and melancholic, with Marie Antoinette seated on a bed, her hands clasped in her lap. A figure, perhaps a guard, stands in the background, adding to the sense of confinement and isolation. Wauters's work captures the tragedy of Marie Antoinette's final days, offering a glimpse into the harsh reality of her imprisonment. The lithograph is a powerful example of the Romantic artistic movement, characterized by its focus on emotion and individual experience.
