"King Louis XIV by Antoine Coysevox" is a renowned marble sculpture created by the French artist Antoine Coysevox (1640–1720), who was one of the most celebrated sculptors during the reign of Louis XIV. The sculpture is a commanding representation of the Sun King, Louis XIV of France, and is considered an important work of Baroque art. It captures the grandeur and authority of the monarch who ruled France for 72 years, the longest reign of any European sovereign at the time.

The sculpture was completed in 1685 and originally placed at the entrance of the Parterre d'Eau, near the Palace of Versailles, which was the center of political power in France during Louis XIV's reign. The artwork is a full-length portrait of the king, depicted in classical Roman attire, which was a common way to portray sovereigns at the time, symbolizing their power and divine right to rule. Louis XIV is shown with a commanding presence, his gaze fixed in the distance, exuding confidence and the majesty befitting his nickname, "The Sun King."

Antoine Coysevox masterfully rendered the textures of the king's flowing drapery and the intricate details of the regalia, showcasing his skill in working with marble. The sculpture not only serves as a testament to the artistic talents of Coysevox but also reflects the political and cultural significance of the era, as it was commissioned to glorify the king and his absolute monarchy.

Today, the sculpture is held in high regard as a masterpiece of French Baroque sculpture and remains an important artifact for understanding the representation of monarchical power and the art of portraiture in the 17th century. It is also a valuable piece for studying the history of the French monarchy and the role of art in the service of royal propaganda. The original sculpture by Coysevox can be seen at the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to draw the admiration of art enthusiasts and historians alike.
