EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in history - the carousel given by King Louis XIV in 1662. The engraving, skillfully executed by Francois Chauveau, transports us back to the extravagant world of 17th-century France. In this particular scene, we are introduced to the Roman timbaliers who played an integral role in this grand spectacle. Positioned proudly on their horses, these musicians command attention with their striking costumes and impressive musical instruments. Their percussions reverberate through the air, adding a rhythmic energy to the festivities. The carousel itself is a magnificent display of equestrian prowess and opulence. The horses prance gracefully as they carry their riders around in circles, creating an enchanting sight for all those fortunate enough to witness it firsthand. King Louis XIV, famously known as the Sun King, spared no expense when it came to entertainment and celebration. This image serves as a testament to his love for extravagance and his desire to impress his subjects with lavish displays of power and wealth. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from the 17th century private collection, we cannot help but be transported back in time - imagining ourselves amidst the vibrant atmosphere of music-filled revelry that defined King Louis XIV's reign.
