EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to the grandeur of the Château de Versailles in France. The focal point of the image is a magnificent ceiling painting titled "The Chariot of Apollo" created by Charles de Lafosse in 1672. Measuring an impressive 490 cm in diameter, this oil on canvas masterpiece adorns the Salon of Apollo, paying homage to both le Roi Soleil (the Sun King) and Louis XIV. The allegorical scene depicts Apollo, the sun god and symbol of enlightenment and artistic inspiration, riding his celestial chariot across a vibrant sky. As our eyes wander through the composition, we notice beautifully rendered horses pulling Apollo's chariot with grace and strength. Surrounding them are cherubs or putti frolicking amidst fluffy clouds, adding a touch of whimsy to the scene. This artwork not only showcases Lafosse's exceptional talent but also serves as a testament to Louis XIV's reign as one of France's most influential monarchs. Known as Louis the Great and belonging to the House of Bourbons dynasty, he was often referred to as "the Sun King" due to his association with Apollo. Through this stunning print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate not only Lafosse's skillful brushwork but also gain insight into French history and culture during Louis XIV's era.
