EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a significant moment in history as Louis XIV, the renowned Sun King, dedicates Puget's Milo of Crotona in the splendid Gardens at Versailles. Painted by Anicet-Charles Lemonnier in 1819, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 64.5x96.5 cm and is housed in the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Rouen, France. In this scene, we witness Louis XIV inaugurating the magnificent sculpture created by Puget amidst an awe-inspiring audience. The sculptor himself stands proudly beside his creation while presenting his design to the king. Surrounding them are members of the royal entourage adorned with exquisite finery and dressed in period costumes that epitomize elegance and grandeur. The setting itself is breathtakingly beautiful; the meticulously manicured gardens of Versailles serve as a backdrop to this historic event. The palace's classical architecture adds an air of sophistication and regality to the scene. Symbolism abounds within this artwork: from classical mythology represented by Milo of Crotona wrestling with a lion, to Louis XIV's patronage of arts and culture showcased through his dedication ceremony. This painting not only immortalizes a specific moment but also encapsulates an era defined by opulence and artistic excellence. Lemonnier masterfully captures both historical accuracy and artistic brilliance through his skillful brushstrokes. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back to a time when art was revered, monarch
