King Louis XIV, Roi de France et de Navarre, 1697
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating handcoloured lithograph depicting the iconic French monarch, Louis XIV, in his regal attire as King of France and Navarre. The image, created by Breton after a print by Bonnard from the renowned "Costumes Historiques de la France" series published by Le Bibliophile Jacob in Paris in 1852, offers an intriguing glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the French court during the late 17th century. Louis XIV, dressed in a richly decorated robe of deep blue velvet, adorned with gold braid and embroidery, exudes an air of regal confidence and power. The king's collar, cuffs, and the hem of his robe are trimmed with ermine fur, adding to the luxuriousness of his attire. He wears a white lace jabot at his neck, and a black velvet cap adorned with a white plume, symbolizing his royal status. The background of the lithograph is filled with intricate details, including ornate furnishings, tapestries, and a grand fireplace, further emphasizing the opulence and grandeur of the French court during this period. The meticulous handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a stunning work of art that transports us back in time. Louis XIV, who ruled France from 1643 to 1715, is known for his significant contributions to the arts, architecture, and culture of France. This lithograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Sun King and the grandeur of the French court during his reign. The intricately detailed costume, the opulent setting, and the regal bearing of the king make this a captivating and historically significant image.
