EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases a regal and resplendent portrait of King Louis XIV of France (1638-1715), also known as the 'Sun King.' Depicted in an oval frame, the monarch is depicted in the prime of his life, with a confident and commanding expression. His meticulously styled, long curly hair cascades down his shoulders, framing a face adorned with a trimmed beard and a regal mustache. The intricate details of the engraving, created by the skilled hand of Simon Thomassin (1652-1732), bring the historical figure to life, transporting us back to the 17th century. Louis XIV, a Bourbon monarch, ruled France from 1643 until his death in 1715. His reign marked the height of the French monarchy, with the king exerting absolute power over his subjects. This image, part of the 'Historia Universal' series published in 1885, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and majesty of the French monarchy during this period. The vibrant colors used in this engraving add depth and richness to the image, making it a stunning addition to any historical collection. The Sun King's regal attire, complete with a sumptuous robe and a scepter, further emphasizes his status as a powerful monarch. The image also features the sun, a symbol of Louis XIV's reign, prominently displayed in the background, further emphasizing his status as a monarch of the modern age.
