EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a young Louis XV, the renowned King of France, at the tender age of five. Painted by the talented artist Hyacinthe Rigaud in 1911, it beautifully captures the essence and grandeur of this historical figure. Dressed in an elaborate costume known as the Costume of the Sacre, which was traditionally worn during coronation ceremonies, Louis XV exudes regal charm. The vibrant blue backdrop adds depth to this portrait while emphasizing his royal stature. With one hand resting on a book and another pointing confidently towards something unseen, he displays both intelligence and curiosity beyond his years. The exquisite gold accents on his dress and scepter symbolize wealth and power associated with monarchy. Rigaud's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke - from the intricate fur lining adorning his attire to the delicate ermine draped over his shoulder. This oil-on-canvas masterpiece now resides within The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. As we gaze upon this image from Haldane Macfall's book "The French Genius" we are transported back to 18th-century France, where Louis XV reigned supreme. It serves as a testament not only to Rigaud's artistic prowess but also to Louis XV's influential role in shaping French history. This print is a true treasure for art enthusiasts and history buffs alike who seek glimpses into an era long gone but forever immortalized through such masterpieces.
