EDITORS COMMENTS
The King of France Louis XIV, known as the Sun King, is depicted in this 19th-century engraving alongside his first official mistress, Mademoiselle de la Valliere. The image captures a moment of royal love and gallantry during the 17th century. Louis XIV (1638-1715) was one of the most powerful monarchs in European history, and his reign symbolized grandeur and opulence. In this print, he is seen with Francoise-Louise de La Baume Le Blanc, who later became Duchess of La Valliere and Vaujours. Affectionately referred to as Mademoiselle de la Valliere or de Lavalliere (1644-1710), she held a special place in the king's heart. The engraving beautifully portrays their intimate connection amidst an era characterized by political intrigue and courtly affairs. Their relationship represents both love and adultery within the confines of royal life. This artwork originates from Anquetil's French History book published in the 19th century. It showcases the skillful craftsmanship of French School artists during that period. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece captured by Patrice Cartier, we are transported back to a time when passion intertwined with power at the court of Louis XIV. This print serves as a reminder of an era marked by complex relationships between kings and their mistresses.
