France. Louis XVI (1774-1793). Medal 1793. The King of France Bids his Last Farewell to His Family. Julius 251. 34.3 g. 48 mm. Some luster. EF. An extraordinary and moving medal, finely engraved with remarkable emotional intensity. The scene depicts Louis XVI bidding farewell to his children, with the Dauphin Louis-Charles and Marie-Thérèse Charlotte by his side, while Marie Antoinette leans against him in despair and Madame Élisabeth weeps into her handkerchief. In the background, the guillotine and the crowd evoke the tragic destiny of the royal family, while the poignant inscription ‘An est dolor par dolori nostro’ (‘See if there be any sorrow like unto our sorrow’) underlines the profound sense of loss. A masterpiece of medallic art and a powerful testimony to one of history’s most dramatic moments.
