Help by Jacques Cassini dit Cassini II (1677-1756) Louis XIV dit le King Soleil - A Glimpse into the Royal Astronomical Pursuits
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous event in history, as French king Louis XIV and renowned astronomer Jacques Cassini observe an eclipse of the sun from the terrace of Marly Castle. The year is 1715, and amidst the opulence and grandeur of the court, these two figures stand united in their pursuit of scientific knowledge. Louis XIV, known as "Le Roi Soleil" or "The Sun King" embodies both his royal title and his fascination with celestial bodies. With a regal presence, he gazes through an astronomical bezel at this rare phenomenon unfolding before him. His curiosity is matched only by his desire to understand the mysteries of the universe. Beside him stands Jacques Cassini, a respected figure in astronomy circles. Together, they form an unlikely duo - one representing power and authority, while the other represents intellect and discovery. Their collaboration symbolizes a unique blend of science and monarchy during this era. Surrounded by elegant ladies from the Court, including Francoise d'Aubigne de Maintenon herself - Marquise de Maintenon - this scene showcases not only their interest but also their support for intellectual pursuits within society. Through Maurice Leloir's masterful illustration technique combined with Gustave Toutwelve's chromotypography expertise, this image transports us back to a time when science was intertwined with royalty. It serves as a reminder that even amidst political intrigue and lavish lifestyles, there were those who sought to unravel nature's secrets above all else.
