EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and opulence of the Cavalcade of Louis XV after his coronation on 26 October 1722. Painted by Pierre-Denis II Martin, a renowned artist of the time, this rococo masterpiece showcases the splendor of France's nobility and aristocracy during the era of absolutism. The scene unfolds in front of the magnificent Palace of Versailles, symbolizing power and authority. The newly crowned King Louis XV, known as "the well beloved" is depicted riding proudly on horseback amidst a procession fit for royalty. His trusted confidante Madame de Pompadour accompanies him, adding an air of elegance to this regal affair. This image not only represents a momentous occasion in French history but also alludes to significant events that would shape Europe's future. The looming Seven Years War casts its shadow over this celebration, reminding us that even amidst lavish feasts and coronations, political tensions were brewing. Martin's masterful use of oil on canvas brings every intricate detail to life - from the ornate costumes worn by courtiers to the majestic architecture surrounding them. This painting serves as a testament to both baroque artistry and historical significance. Preserved within Musee de l'Histoire de France at Chateau de Versailles, this print offers viewers an opportunity to step back in time and immerse themselves in an era defined by extravagance and power. It stands as a reminder that behind every great king lies a nation
