EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in history - the grand entrance of Louis XIV and Maria Theresa into Arras on 30th July 1667. Painted by Adam Frans van der Meulen, this oil on canvas artwork showcases the opulence and splendor of the French monarchy during the reign of Louis XIV, also known as the Sun King. The attention to detail is remarkable, with every element meticulously depicted. The magnificent carriage carrying Louis XIV and Maria Theresa takes center stage, adorned with lavish decorations and pulled by majestic horses. Surrounding them are a procession of courtiers dressed in exquisite livery, adding to the regal atmosphere. As one gazes at this image, it's impossible not to be transported back in time to witness this significant historical moment firsthand. The power and authority emanating from Louis XIV are palpable, symbolizing his absolute rule over France during a period marked by wars and political maneuverings. This print serves as a reminder of the magnificence that characterized European courts during this era. It allows us to appreciate not only the artistic talent of Adam Frans van der Meulen but also provides insight into an important chapter in history when royalty reigned supreme. Displayed proudly at Château de Versailles in France, this masterpiece continues to captivate viewers centuries after its creation.
