EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to the grandeur of the royal court during the reign of Louis XIV, known as the Sun King. The image showcases a momentous meeting between Louis XIV and Samuel Bernard, a Jewish banker who seeks financial aid for the Spanish War of Succession. The setting is none other than the breathtaking gardens of the castle of Marly, where nature's beauty serves as a backdrop to this crucial conversation. As they stroll through these meticulously manicured grounds, one can almost feel the weightiness of their discussion. Louis XIV stands tall and regal, exuding power and authority befitting his title. His presence commands attention while also hinting at his reputation as an extravagant monarch. On the other hand, Samuel Bernard appears composed yet determined; he understands that securing funds from such a powerful figure will greatly impact history. This chromotypography print beautifully captures not only their encounter but also highlights Maurice Leloir's artistic prowess in illustrating historical events with meticulous detail. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into an era defined by political maneuverings and alliances shaped by financial support. As we admire this piece from Stefano Bianchetti's private collection today, it serves as a reminder of how art can transport us across centuries and allow us to witness pivotal moments in history firsthand.
