EDITORS COMMENTS
The Audience of Cardinal Chigi with Louis XIV (1638-1715) at Fontainebleau captures a moment of grandeur and power in the French court. In this exquisite tapestry by Charles Le Brun, we witness the meeting between Pope Alexander VII's nephew, Flavio Chigi, and the illustrious Sun King himself, Louis XIV. Seated amidst opulent splendor, Louis XIV exudes regal authority as he receives Cardinal Chigi. The richly detailed tapestry transports us back to 29th July 1664 when this historic encounter took place at the Gobelins factory in France. The scene is filled with symbolism and historical significance. It showcases not only the close relationship between Church and State but also highlights the influence of powerful families like the Valois on European politics during the 15th century. Charles VII, known as "the Victorious" was one such influential figure from that era who left an indelible mark on French history. His legacy is honored here through his descendant Louis XIV's reign as king of France. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to delve into Europe's fascinating past while marveling at Le Brun's artistic mastery. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a time when kings ruled with absolute power and every detail within their courts was meticulously crafted to reflect their majesty.
