"Portrait de Louis XVIII en habit de sacre, à mi-corps" is an oil painting by the French artist Antoine-Jean Gros, depicting King Louis XVIII of France in his coronation robes. Created in the early 19th century, this work is a significant example of royal portraiture during the Bourbon Restoration, a period marked by the reestablishment of the Bourbon monarchy following the fall of Napoleon Bonaparte.

The painting presents Louis XVIII, the brother of the executed King Louis XVI, in a regal and dignified manner, consistent with the traditional representation of monarchs. Gros, who was a pupil of Jacques-Louis David and later became known for his large-scale historical paintings, captures the solemnity of the occasion with meticulous attention to the details of the king's attire and the opulence of the ceremonial garments.

Louis XVIII is portrayed wearing the richly embroidered coronation robes, complete with ermine fur and the blue sash of the Order of the Holy Spirit, symbolizing his divine right to rule and his position as the head of the French state. The portrait likely served to reinforce the legitimacy of the Bourbon monarchy, which had been restored to power after the tumultuous years of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars.

The painting is notable for its blend of neoclassical elements, as seen in the clear and precise rendering of the figure, and the emerging Romantic sensibilities that Gros would later fully embrace. This combination reflects the transitional nature of French art during this period, as well as the complexities of representing a monarch who was returning to a throne in a country that had undergone profound political and social changes.

"Portrait de Louis XVIII en habit de sacre, à mi-corps" remains an important cultural artifact, offering insight into the visual propaganda of the Bourbon Restoration and the role of portraiture in shaping the image of a monarch. The work is a testament to Antoine-Jean Gros's skill as a portraitist and his ability to navigate the shifting artistic and political landscapes of early 19th-century France.
