Antoine Philippe d'Orléans
Antoine Philippe d'Orléans is documented primarily as a printmaker active during the short period spanning 1804 to 1806. His surviving output, consisting exclusively of prints, demonstrates an interest in both formalized royal portraiture and localized topographical studies.
Seven of his works are represented in museum collections, confirming the historical significance of his brief artistic documentation. The subject matter spans familial and regal subjects, highlighted by works such as Portrait of Louis-Philippe, Duc d'Orléans, Bust Portraits of Three Brothers, and the dual image Portraits of King Louis Philippe & Antoine Philippe d'Orleans, duc de Montpensier. Concurrently, titles like Benham and Chaucer's Tower Near Benham indicate his engagement with landscape documentation and architectural studies.
Seven documented Antoine Philippe d'Orléans prints are permanently held in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, establishing their placement within a major institutional context. As is common for historical works of this period, these pieces are frequently studied and made accessible to the general public. Many such historical etchings are today available as high-quality prints through public domain initiatives and research databases.
