EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithography print captures a defining moment in French history. The image depicts the powerful King of France, Louis XIV, addressing parliament in 1661 with his famous declaration: "The State is me!". This bold statement epitomizes the absolute monarchy that Louis XIV embodied during his reign. Louis XIV, also known as the Sun King, believed in the divine right of kings and held immense power over his subjects. With this proclamation to parliament, he asserted his authority and dominance over all aspects of governance and administration within France. The artist behind this stunning piece is Stefano Bianchetti from the 19th century French School. Through vibrant colors and intricate details, Bianchetti brings to life this historic moment when Louis XIV solidified his position as an unrivaled ruler. This artwork not only serves as a visual representation of a significant event but also reflects the royalist movement prevalent during Louis XIV's era. It symbolizes both the grandeur and autocracy associated with monarchies at that time. Preserved in a private collection today, this chromolithography print allows us to delve into history and witness firsthand one of Louis XIV's most iconic proclamations – an assertion that encapsulates an entire era defined by absolute monarchy.
