EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite oil on canvas painting titled "Louis XIV of France declaring his love for Louise de la Valliere" by Jean-Frederic Schall. The artwork, measuring 35.5x49.2 cm, is part of a private collection and depicts a significant moment in history. In this enchanting scene, we witness the powerful King Louis XIV passionately expressing his affection for Louise de la Valliere, his beloved mistress. The artist skillfully captures the intensity of their emotions through intricate brushstrokes and vibrant colors. The composition is inspired by Madame de Genlis' novel "Histoire de Mademoiselle de la Valliere" as it forms part of a series of six engravings created by Ruotte to illustrate the story. This historical context adds depth and meaning to the painting, allowing us to delve into the complex relationships within French court society during that era. Louis XIV, known as the Sun King, ruled over France from 1638 to 1715 with great authority and grandeur. His love affair with Louise de la Valliere further highlights his passionate nature and influence over matters both political and personal. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry captured beautifully in this print by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness an intimate moment between two iconic figures who shaped French history forever.
