EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the regal presence of King Louis XV of France, also known as "Le Roi Bien-Aimé" or "The Well-Beloved King," in the year 1774, during the twilight of his reign. The monarch, dressed in the grandeur of royal attire, holds a scepter or baton in his right hand, symbolizing his divine right to rule and the power vested in him by the people of France. Born in 1710, Louis XV ascended the throne at the tender age of five, following the death of his great-grandfather, Louis XIV. His reign, which spanned over six decades, was marked by extravagance, decadence, and political instability. The monarch's love for the pleasures of the court, particularly hunting and women, was legendary, earning him the nickname "Le Roi Soleil" or "The Sun King," a title once held by his grand-père. Despite his personal indulgences, Louis XV was a shrewd and capable ruler who navigated the complexities of European politics with skill. He played a pivotal role in the War of the Austrian Succession and the Seven Years' War, and his reign saw the expansion of the French colonial empire. However, the latter years of his reign were marred by financial crises, internal strife, and the growing influence of the Parlement of Paris, which challenged the monarch's authority. The portrait, with its solemn expression and the weight of the baton in his hand, may reflect the burden of responsibility that weighed heavily on the king's shoulders during these troubled times. This image, taken from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich history of French royalty and the complex character of a monarch who left an indelible mark on the annals of time.
