EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning portrait print captures the essence of Louis XIV, the legendary Sun King of France. Painted in 1701 by Hyacinthe Rigaud, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 289.6x159.1 cm and is housed at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. Louis XIV's absolute power and regal presence are beautifully depicted in this baroque-style artwork. The king stands tall, draped in luxurious robes adorned with symbols of his authority - a curtain, sword, and fleur de lis emblematic of the Bourbon dynasty. The attention to detail is remarkable; every fold of fabric and strand of hair meticulously rendered by Rigaud's skilled brushwork. The monarch's expression exudes confidence as he gazes directly at the viewer, embodying his famous declaration "I am the state". This portrait serves as a visual testament to Louis XIV's status as an absolute ruler with divine right over his kingdom. His elaborate sash and wig further emphasize his royal stature while highlighting French court ceremonial customs. As one delves into this image, it becomes evident why Louis XIV was known as the Sun King - his radiance shines through both literally and metaphorically within this painting. A true symbol of power and authority, this print allows us to witness firsthand the grandeur that defined one of history's most influential monarchs: Louis XIV – Le Roi Soleil (The Sun King).
