EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Louis le Grand, 1712" showcases the regal presence of Louis XIV, also known as Louis the Great or the Sun King. Created by Pierre-Imbert Drevet in 1712, this print measures an impressive 68.3x51.8 cm and is housed at the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas. Louis XIV was a monarch from the House of Bourbon who reigned over France from 1643 until his passing in 1715. This portrait captures him with his hand confidently placed on his hip, exuding power and authority. The artist skillfully portrays every detail of Louis' regalia, including the luxurious ermine fur draped around his shoulders. Hyacinthe Rigaud's iconic painting "Louis XIV" served as inspiration for this engraving, showcasing the king's grandeur and opulence. As one of Europe's most influential rulers during that time period, Louis XIV left an indelible mark on French history. This artwork offers a glimpse into a bygone era when monarchy ruled supreme and royal portraits were celebrated works of art. It serves as a testament to both artistic talent and historical significance. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection without commercial intent but rather appreciation for fine art, let us reflect upon the legacy left behind by Louis XIV – a ruler whose reign forever shaped France and European history alike.
