Painting Description
"King Louis XIV and the Dauphin Crowned by Glory and Immortality, and Acclaimed from Below by the Sciences, the Arts and the French People Led by Minerva" is a notable engraving by Charles-Nicolas Cochin the Elder (1688–1754), a prominent French engraver and designer during the 18th century. This work is emblematic of the Baroque period and reflects the grandeur and opulence associated with the reign of Louis XIV, also known as the Sun King. The engraving depicts a glorified scene where King Louis XIV and his heir, the Dauphin, are being crowned by allegorical figures representing Glory and Immortality, signifying the divine right and eternal legacy of the monarch's rule.
Below the royal figures, the engraving shows a gathering of personifications of the Sciences and the Arts, along with the French people, who are led by Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare. This assembly of characters symbolizes the flourishing of intellectual and artistic endeavors under the patronage of the king, as well as the unity and support of the French populace for their sovereign.
Cochin's work serves not only as a piece of artistic expression but also as a visual representation of the political and cultural ideologies of the time. It underscores the absolute power of the monarch and the central role of the king in the advancement of French culture and national identity. The engraving is a testament to the skill of Cochin, who was adept at capturing the essence of the French court's splendor and the intricate details of such ceremonial iconography.
The piece is an important historical artifact that offers insight into the artistic and socio-political landscape of 18th-century France. It is a valuable resource for scholars interested in the art of engraving, the representation of monarchy, and the interplay between art and propaganda during the reign of Louis XIV.
