EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and majesty of Louis XIV, the King of France and Navarre, as he approaches the iconic Pont Neuf in Paris. Painted by Jan van Huchtenburgh in 1674, this oil on oak masterpiece measures 72x108.8 cm and is currently housed in the Schlossmuseum at Schloss Friedenstein in Gotha, Germany. In this scene, we witness Louis XIV mounted on a magnificent horse, leading a royal procession across the bridge over the River Seine. The cityscape serves as a breathtaking backdrop to this regal moment. The painting showcases not only Louis XIV's power and authority but also his love for equestrian sports. The composition beautifully captures multiple elements: from horses rearing with energy and grace to carriages carrying members of his royal court. It depicts various types of horses such as racehorses, ponies, shire horses, stallions - showcasing an array of wildlife animals that were part of his livestock. The Pont Neuf itself stands proudly as a symbol of architectural brilliance - whether it be its wooden or stone structure or even its suspension design remains unclear from this particular image. Overall, this print provides us with a glimpse into history; it allows us to appreciate both the artistic talent behind capturing such scenes and understand how royalty would traverse through their cities during those times.
