EDITORS COMMENTS
Transport sur la place Louis-le-Grand (currently place Vendôme) of the statue of Louis XIV by François Girardon on July 16, 1699, is a captivating oil on canvas painting by the renowned French artist Rene-Antoine Houasse. This masterpiece, created in the 17th century, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Paris and the grandeur of the French monarchy. The painting depicts the transportation of the equestrian statue of King Louis XIV, known as "Le Roi Soleil," from the convent of the Capuchins, where it was originally housed, to its new location on place Vendôme. The king, dressed in his regal attire and gesturing with a hand, is shown on horseback, surrounded by a crowd of people, including nuns from the convent, and various officials and workers involved in the relocation process. The painting is a testament to the grandeur and opulence of the French monarchy during the reign of Louis XIV. The horses and other animals in the scene are depicted with great detail and realism, adding to the overall sense of energy and movement in the painting. The use of color and light also adds to the vibrancy and depth of the image. Today, this painting is housed in the Musée Carnavalet in Paris, one of the city's most prestigious museums, and is a must-see for anyone interested in French history, art, or the 17th century. The painting's historical significance and artistic merit make it a valuable addition to the heritage of France and Europe as a whole.
