"Chancellor Séguier at the Entry of Louis XIV into Paris" is a monumental painting by the French artist Charles Le Brun, created between 1655 and 1661. The work commemorates the ceremonial entry of the young King Louis XIV into Paris on August 26, 1660, following his marriage to the Infanta Maria Theresa of Spain. This event marked the reconciliation of France and Spain after the Treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659, which ended the Franco-Spanish War.

The painting is notable for its grandeur and detailed representation of the Baroque pageantry of the time. It depicts Pierre Séguier, the Chancellor of France, on horseback, surrounded by a retinue of guards and pages. Séguier, a key figure in the French government and a patron of the arts, is shown as the embodiment of royal authority and magnificence, leading the procession in honor of the king.

Le Brun, who was the court painter to Louis XIV and the director of the Gobelins Manufactory, was instrumental in developing the visual imagery associated with the Sun King's reign. His work on this painting exemplifies the grand style that was characteristic of the official art of the French court, which aimed to glorify the monarchy and reinforce its divine right to rule.

The painting is a prime example of Le Brun's mastery of composition, color, and the depiction of light, which he used to enhance the drama and elevate the status of his subjects. The artwork is held in high esteem for its historical significance and as a masterpiece of 17th-century French art. It is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and cultural importance.
