EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from the annals of 19th century art and literature showcases the transformative power of regal attire, as depicted in the renowned work of English satirist and author, William Makepeace Thackeray. Circa 1840, Thackeray chose to immortalize the grandeur and majesty of a king through the meticulous selection of his clothes. In this instance, the monarch in question is none other than the iconic Louis XIV of France. Louis XIV, the Sun King, was known for his opulent lifestyle and absolute rule, and Thackeray's portrayal of him in this print underscores the intricate relationship between politics, monarchism, and the symbolism of royal attire. The king's elaborate costume – complete with a voluminous robe, ermine-trimmed mantle, and the distinctive three-pointed hat known as the "Louis XIII bonnet" – serves not only as a visual representation of his power and wealth but also as a tangible link to the rich history and traditions of the French monarchy. The intricacies of the king's attire are a testament to the painstaking attention to detail that characterized the era, as well as the profound influence of fashion on the perception of power and authority. Thackeray's choice of Louis XIV as the subject of this print underscores the enduring allure of the monarchy and the role of clothing in shaping the image of a king. This evocative image invites us to reflect on the complex interplay of power, politics, and aesthetics that defined the world of the 19th century monarchs and continues to captivate us today.
