"Louis XIV 1638-1715 in Royal Costume, 1701" is a renowned portrait painting by the French Baroque artist Hyacinthe Rigaud, which has become an iconic representation of the Sun King, Louis XIV of France. Commissioned by the king himself in 1701, the painting was intended as a gift for his grandson, Philip V of Spain. However, Louis XIV was so pleased with the final work that he decided to keep the original and instead sent a copy to Spain.

The portrait is a full-length depiction of the king, measuring an impressive 9 feet 2 inches by 6 feet 3 inches (279 cm × 190 cm). It showcases Louis XIV in his coronation robes, standing beside a draped curtain with his hand resting on a scepter, while his other hand points to a crown on a cushion, symbolizing his royal authority. The king is adorned with the sumptuous regalia of the French monarchy, including the Order of the Holy Spirit and the Order of Saint Michael, and he wears the high-heeled shoes that were fashionable among the French nobility at the time.

Rigaud's masterful technique is evident in the intricate detailing of the king's costume, from the luxurious fabrics and lace to the elaborate embroidery and the play of light on the various textures. The portrait exudes a sense of grandeur and power, befitting the monarch who epitomized the absolute monarchy and the splendor of the French court during the classical age of the 17th century.

Today, "Louis XIV 1638-1715 in Royal Costume, 1701" is held in the collection of the Louvre Museum in Paris and remains one of the most celebrated and studied portraits of the Ancien Régime. It is not only a masterpiece of portraiture but also a significant historical document that reflects the image Louis XIV sought to project as a ruler of divine right and unparalleled magnificence.
