Produced for the Imprimerie Royale, the work demonstrates the technical precision associated with the period. The composition features an allegorical representation of a royal genealogical tree, rendered with delicate line work and balanced shading. At the centre of the imagery, a portrait medallion of Louis IX is suspended within a cloud formation, while a radiant cross appears in the upper right, casting light across the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe genealogical structure is depicted as a branching plant, with individual oval medallions containing the names of various monarchs. The artist employs a combination of etching and engraving to achieve the fine textures of the foliage and the soft, atmospheric quality of the clouds. Choffard, a master of the vignette and ornamental print, manages to integrate the text of the surrounding page with the illustrative element, creating a cohesive visual narrative that supports the historical context of the Bourbon dynasty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe print reflects the aesthetic values of the era, where clarity and order were prioritised in historical documentation. The use of light and shadow provides a sense of depth, drawing the eye from the portrait of the saintly monarch towards the lineage that follows. This piece is a characteristic example of the high standards maintained by the Imprimerie Royale, where typography and illustration were treated as complementary arts. The work remains a fine specimen of the rococo-to-neoclassical transition in French printmaking, capturing the intersection of royal history and decorative graphic design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/neo-classical-vases-in-a-landscape-jean-charles-delafosse\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eNeo-classical Vases in a Landscape - Jean Charles Delafosse — Jean Charles Delafosse\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/a-grecian-lovely-john-william-godward\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eA Grecian Lovely - John William Godward — John William Godward\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pierre-Philippe Choffard","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59102038458703,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59102040686927,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59102040719695,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59102040752463,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59102040785231,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59102040817999,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59102040850767,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59102040883535,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59102040916303,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59102040949071,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59102040981839,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59102041014607,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Allegorische-voorstelling-met-stamboom-en-oplichtend-kruis_Poster_CompositorV1_1791858835280.jpg?v=1791859406","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/allegorische-voorstelling-met-stamboom-en-oplichtend-kruis-pierre-philippe-choffard","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
