King Louis XIV, Roi de France et de Navarre, 1670: A Regal Portrait of Power and Grandeur This stunning handcoloured lithograph, created by Breton after a portrait in Roger de Gaignieres gallery portfolio X 50, offers a captivating glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the French monarchy during the reign of King Louis XIV. Dated 1670, this image depicts the monarch as Roi de France et de Navarre, highlighting his dual roles as King of France and King of Navarre. Louis XIV's regal presence is undeniable, with his stately posture, piercing gaze, and ornate attire reflecting the power and prestige of the French throne. The king's sumptuous costume, featuring a velvet doublet, lace jabot, and a plumed hat, is a testament to the wealth and luxury of the French court. The intricate details of the lithograph, from the delicate folds of the king's robes to the meticulous rendering of his facial features, underscore the skill and artistry of the artist and the printing process. The use of handcolouring further enhances the image's richness and depth, adding a vibrant and lifelike quality to the portrait. This portrait of King Louis XIV, Roi de France et de Navarre, serves as a reminder of the monarch's enduring legacy and the power and grandeur of the French monarchy during his reign. The image, taken from Roger de Gaignieres gallery portfolio X 50, was published by Le Bibliophile Jacob as part of their series "Costumes Historiques de la France," which aimed to document and preserve the historical costumes and traditions of France. This lithograph is a valuable historical record and a beautiful work of art, offering a glimpse into the opulent world of the French court during the Ancien Régime.
