EDITORS COMMENTS
Louis XIII, the Just (Le Juste), the eldest son of King Henri IV of France, is depicted here at the age of sixteen, engaging in a leisurely pastime favored by the French monarchy – riding. The photograph, dated between 1601 and 1643, captures the young Louis XIII's regal bearing and poise, even at a tender age. Born on September 27, 1601, Louis XIII ascended to the throne in 1610, following his father's assassination. During his long reign, which lasted until his death in 1643, he transformed France into a major European power. One of his most significant achievements was the establishment of the Academie Francaise in 1635, which was dedicated to preserving and promoting the French language and literature. Louis XIII's rule was marked by a strong centralized government, military expansion, and architectural projects, including the construction of the Palace of Versailles. This evocative image offers a rare glimpse into the private life of a monarch who left an indelible mark on French history.
