Painting Description
"Louis XIV 1638-1715 in Royal Costume, 1701" is a renowned portrait of King Louis XIV of France painted by the French Baroque painter Hyacinthe Rigaud in 1701. This monumental work of art is one of the most iconic representations of the Sun King, showcasing the monarch in his coronation robes, replete with the symbols of his absolute power and regal authority. The painting was originally commissioned by Louis XIV as a gift for his grandson, Philip V of Spain, but the king was so pleased with the result that he kept the original and sent a copy to Spain instead.
The portrait is celebrated for its meticulous detail, opulent color palette, and the grandeur it imparts to the aged monarch, who was 63 years old at the time of the painting. Rigaud's mastery in rendering textures and fabrics is evident in the depiction of the luxurious materials, from the sumptuous ermine cloak to the intricate lace and embroidery of the king's attire. The king's pose, with one hand on his hip and the other resting on a command baton, exudes confidence and control, while his gaze imparts a sense of his indomitable will.
Measuring 277 cm by 194 cm, the oil on canvas painting is a testament to the glory and splendor of the French monarchy at the height of its power. It has become an emblem of the absolutist rule and the divine right of kings, encapsulating the essence of the French Baroque period. Today, the portrait is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris and remains a significant cultural artifact, attracting scholars and visitors from around the world who wish to glimpse the grandeur of the Sun King as immortalized by Rigaud's hand.
