EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the opulent world of Louis XIV, the Sun King. The image captures a momentous occasion as Louis XIV receives the esteemed Doge of Genoa in the magnificent Galerie des Glaces on 15 May 1685. Painted by Claude Halle, this masterpiece beautifully depicts the grandeur and splendor that defined Versailles during its golden age. As our eyes wander through the scene, we witness Louis XIV seated upon his ornate throne, surrounded by his son Monsieur, also known as the grand Dauphin, and other royal princes. Their presence emphasizes not only their proximity to power but also their role in upholding and perpetuating the majesty of French royalty. The Galerie des Glaces itself is a sight to behold with its breathtaking mirrors reflecting light from countless chandeliers suspended above. This hall served as a symbol of wealth and magnificence for Louis XIV's court. Nancy Mitford's book "Louis XIV at Versailles" offers further insight into this remarkable event on page 100 under its sub-title "Ceremony". Through her meticulous research and vivid storytelling skills, Mitford brings history alive for readers eager to delve deeper into one of history's most fascinating monarchs. This extraordinary print allows us to immerse ourselves in an era where extravagance knew no bounds - a time when Louis XIV reigned supreme over France with unparalleled pomp and grandeur.
