"The Entry of Louis XIV (1638-1715) and Marie-Thérèse (1638-83) of Austria into Arras, 30th July 1667" is a significant historical painting by the Flemish artist Adam Frans van der Meulen, completed in 1685. This large-scale work is a vivid portrayal of the triumphant entry of the French King Louis XIV and his queen consort, Marie-Thérèse, into the city of Arras following its capture during the Franco-Dutch War. Van der Meulen, known for his skill in depicting equestrian and battle scenes, was commissioned by the king to create a series of works celebrating his military victories, and this painting is a part of that series.

The painting is a masterpiece of Baroque art, showcasing van der Meulen's ability to combine accurate historical detail with a grandiose and celebratory atmosphere. It captures the pomp and circumstance of the royal procession, with the monarchs at the center of a lavishly adorned entourage, emphasizing the power and glory of the French monarchy. The artist's use of perspective, color, and composition all serve to draw the viewer's eye to the royal couple, while the surrounding figures and architecture of Arras provide a richly detailed context for the event.

As a court painter to Louis XIV, van der Meulen played a crucial role in the propaganda of the Sun King's reign, and "The Entry of Louis XIV and Marie-Thérèse of Austria into Arras" is a prime example of how art was used to shape the image of the monarchy. The painting not only commemorates a specific historical event but also serves as a visual representation of the king's dominance and the splendor of his rule. Today, the work is an important artifact for both art historians and scholars of French history, offering insight into the cultural and political climate of 17th-century France.
