Painting Description
"Louis XVI (1754-93)" is an oil on canvas portrait of King Louis XVI of France painted by the French artist Antoine-François Callet. The portrait, which dates to circa 1779, is one of the most recognized depictions of the monarch, who reigned from 1774 until his deposition in 1792 during the French Revolution. Callet, who was appointed as a court painter in 1774, was known for his skill in creating royal portraits, and his representation of Louis XVI exemplifies the grandeur and formality associated with the official portraiture of the era.
The painting portrays Louis XVI in his coronation robes, capturing the regal bearing and the elaborate costume that symbolize the absolute power and divine right of the French monarchy. Callet's work is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of the luxurious fabrics and regalia. The portrait also serves as a historical document, providing insight into the fashion and iconography of the French court in the late 18th century.
The portrait of Louis XVI by Callet is held in high esteem for its artistic merit and as a significant cultural artifact from a tumultuous period in French history. It has been widely reproduced and remains an important image for understanding the representation of monarchy prior to the French Revolution. The painting is part of the collection of the Palace of Versailles, a fitting location given its historical connection to the subject.
