EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed print captures the essence of the Government of France during the reign of Louis XIV from 1661 to 1715. The image showcases a colorful lithograph by Joseph Girard, depicting a pivotal moment in French history. In this scene, we witness an important meeting taking place within the opulent walls of the Chateau de Versailles, where power and politics intertwine. The King himself, Louis XIV, known as the Sun King, sits at the head of a long table surrounded by his councilors and ministers. Dressed in elaborate costumes befitting their royal status, these politicians discuss matters that shape not only France but also Europe. The architecture of Versailles serves as a majestic backdrop for this gathering—a symbol of grandeur and authority. It is here that decisions are made regarding warships sailing across oceans under Bourbon rule and policies that govern both domestic affairs and overseas territories. Among those present are key figures such as Jean Baptiste Colbert, Marquis de Seignelay, François Michel le Tellier (Marquis de Louvois), and Michel le Tellier—individuals who played crucial roles in shaping Louis XIV's reign. This print transports us back to an era when monarchy reigned supreme in France—a time when artistry merged with politics to create an awe-inspiring spectacle that still fascinates us today.
