EDITORS COMMENTS
Carle van Loo's masterpiece, "Louis XV recevant le corps de la Ville à l'occasion de la publication de la paix de 1739," captures a significant moment in French history. The painting depicts King Louis XV of France (1710-1774), known as "Louis le Bien-Aimé" or "Louis the Beloved," receiving the keys of Paris from a group of aldermen and other city officials. The event marked the publication of the Peace of Paris in 1739, which ended the War of the Polish Succession. The painting, which is a sketch for a larger work intended for the Hôtel de Ville de Paris, features a grand, ornate setting with King Louis XV seated on a throne, dressed in royal robes and surrounded by the city's elite. The aldermen, dressed in their formal attire, present the keys to the city in a symbolic gesture of loyalty and submission. A guard stands behind the king, while the goddess Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom and war, hovers above the scene, signifying the wisdom and strength required for peace and governance. The painting is a testament to the grandeur and opulence of the French monarchy during the 18th century. Carle van Loo (1687-1735), a prominent French painter of the time, expertly captures the intricate details of the clothing, the rich colors, and the expressions of the figures in the painting. The work is now part of the collection of the Musée Carnavalet in Paris, one of the city's most important museums dedicated to the history of Paris.
