EDITORS COMMENTS
This color lithograph, titled "Familiarity of the Duchess of Burgundy with King Louis XIV" transports us back to the opulent court of Versailles during the reign of the Sun King. Created by Maurice Leloir, this print captures a pivotal moment in French history. In this scene, we witness an intimate encounter between Marie-Adelaide of Savoy, known as the Duchess of Burgundy, and her grandfather-in-law, King Louis XIV. The artist beautifully portrays their relationship through delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors. The Duchess is depicted wearing an exquisite gown adorned with intricate lace and jewels, symbolizing her status as a prominent figure in French society. Her graceful posture reflects both elegance and confidence as she engages in conversation with the powerful monarch. King Louis XIV himself exudes authority and grandeur. Dressed in regal attire embellished with gold accents, he commands attention while maintaining a warm expression towards his beloved granddaughter-in-law. This artwork was originally created as an illustration for Gustave Toudouze's novel "Le Roy Soleil" (1908), which delves into the fascinating lives at Versailles during this period. It offers us a glimpse into the complex web of relationships that shaped French culture and politics under Louis XIV's rule. As we admire this stunning print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of France's rich heritage and its enduring fascination with royalty.
