EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the essence of Louis V the Faineant, also known as Louis V the Indolent, who reigned as King of France from 967 to 987. The portrait is part of a series called "Les Augustes Representations de tous les Kings de France" created by the esteemed Larmessin family of engravers in Paris in 1679. Louis V's character is beautifully depicted in this piece, showcasing his reputation for laziness and lack of ambition. The artist skillfully brings out his indolence through subtle details such as his relaxed posture and serene expression. Despite being a king during a crucial period in French history, Louis V appears disinterested and detached from the affairs of state. The medium age aesthetic adds an air of authenticity to this historical artwork. The colors used by Stefano Bianchetti enhance the regal atmosphere surrounding Louis V, with rich hues that bring depth and life to every stroke. This print offers us a glimpse into one chapter of French monarchy, allowing us to reflect on how different leadership styles shape nations throughout history. It serves as a reminder that even kings are not immune to human flaws and weaknesses. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world, this engraving stands as both an artistic masterpiece and a testament to our fascination with royal figures from centuries past.
