This print captures the historic moment when Valenciennes was stormed by Louis XIV on March 17,1677. In this grand painting by Jean Alaux called "The Roman" created in 1837, we witness the intense military operations led by Vauban under the watchful eye of the Sun King himself. Measuring an impressive 4.15 x 4.65 meters, this masterpiece is housed in Versailles, within the Castles of Versailles and Trianon. The level of detail and precision depicted in this artwork is truly remarkable, transporting viewers back to a pivotal event in French history. The scene showcases the power and might of Louis XIV's forces as they lay siege to Valenciennes, with Vauban at the helm directing strategic military maneuvers. The artist's skillful brushstrokes bring life to every soldier and cannon present on the battlefield. Through this print from Fine Art Finder, we are given a glimpse into a significant chapter during Louis XIV's reign as he sought to expand his kingdom's territories through military conquests. It serves as a testament to both his ambition and his reliance on brilliant military minds like Vauban.
