EDITORS COMMENTS
This pastel portrait captures the elegance and youthfulness of Louis de Bourbon, Dauphin of France. Created by Jean-Etienne Liotard in 1749-50, this exquisite artwork showcases the artistic mastery of the Swiss painter. Louis, born in 1729, was not only the eldest son but also the sole survivor to reach adulthood among King Louis XV's children. The heir apparent to the French throne exudes an air of regality as he dons the insignia of the Order of Saint-Esprit, a prestigious order of chivalry. The artist skillfully portrays Louis with powdered hair and wearing luxurious velvet attire that befits his royal status. The sash draped across his chest adds a touch of grandeur to his already majestic presence. Liotard's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing both physical likeness and inner grace. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece housed at Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, we are transported back to eighteenth-century France - a time when courtly opulence reigned supreme. This portrait serves as a testament to not only Louis' importance within French royalty but also as a celebration of artistry during this period. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this historical masterpiece for all art enthusiasts and history lovers alike to appreciate its beauty and significance for generations to come.
