EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures a moment in time between King Louis XIV of France and his trusted minister, Jean-Baptiste Colbert, in an agreeable garden setting during the late 17th century. The date of this photograph is not an exact one, but it is believed to have been taken between 1670 and 1680. Louis XIV, the Sun King, is depicted in regal attire, seated on a chair with a cane at his side, intently studying documents prepared for his inspection by Colbert, who stands attentively behind him. The serene garden setting, filled with lush greenery and vibrant flowers, adds a sense of tranquility and calm to the scene. Louis XIV (1638-1715) and Colbert (1619-1683) were a formidable duo, with Colbert serving as the king's chief minister from 1665 until his death. Colbert's influence on French politics, finance, and culture was profound, and he is often credited with helping to establish France as a major European power. The king's focus on the documents suggests that they contained important information regarding state affairs, and Colbert's role as the king's right-hand man underscores the significance of their relationship. This photograph offers a glimpse into the inner workings of the French monarchy during a period of great change and growth. Overall, this image is a testament to the power and influence of the French monarchy during the reign of Louis XIV, and the important role that Colbert played in shaping the course of French history.
