EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historically significant print captures the momentous meeting between two powerful monarchs, Louis XIV of France and Philippe IV of Spain. Taking place on the Isle des Faisans on November 7th, 1659, this event marked a turning point in European history. The image showcases the signing of the Treaty of the Pyrenees, an agreement that not only arranged a marriage alliance between Louis XIV and Infanta Maria Theresa but also brought an end to years of conflict between France and Spain. The beautifully detailed lithograph by Jacques Laumosnier depicts a scene filled with courtiers, textiles, and regal portraits. In this composition, we see both French and Spanish royalty gathered together on this small island known as the Island of Pheasants. The border surrounding them is adorned with intricate cartouches symbolizing peace and unity. Courtiers from both sides can be seen engaging in conversation while paying homage to their respective rulers. This photograph offers us a glimpse into a pivotal moment in European politics where alliances were forged through strategic marriages. It highlights not only the power dynamics at play but also showcases the opulence associated with royal courts during this era. As we delve into this historical masterpiece captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of how art has always been intertwined with politics and diplomacy throughout history.
