"The Entry of Louis XIV (1638-1715) and Maria Theresa (1638-83) into Arras on 30th July 1667" is a historically significant painting by the Flemish artist Adam Frans van der Meulen, completed in 1685. The artwork commemorates the triumphant entry of the French King Louis XIV and his consort, Queen Maria Theresa of Spain, into the city of Arras following its capture during the Franco-Dutch War. Van der Meulen, known for his depictions of battles and royal events, was a court painter to Louis XIV and a member of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture.

This large-scale painting is a prime example of 17th-century Baroque art, characterized by its vivid portrayal of the grandeur and pageantry associated with the Sun King's reign. The work is meticulously detailed, capturing the opulence of the royal procession and the architectural beauty of Arras. It serves not only as a piece of art but also as a visual document of the political propaganda of the time, emphasizing the might and right of the French monarchy to expand its territories.

The painting is notable for its use of perspective and the artist's ability to convey movement and depth, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene. Van der Meulen's skillful rendering of the figures, the horses, and the surrounding landscape reflects his mastery of the genre and his role in documenting the splendor of the French court.

"The Entry of Louis XIV and Maria Theresa into Arras" is part of a series of works commissioned by the king to glorify his military victories and his rule. Today, the painting is not only appreciated for its artistic qualities but also studied for its historical context and as an example of the use of art for statecraft during the reign of Louis XIV. The painting is housed in a prominent museum collection, offering insight into the period's political, cultural, and artistic milieu.
