''Portrait de Louis XIV'' is a seminal oil on canvas painting by the French Baroque artist Hyacinthe Rigaud, created in 1701. Commissioned by Louis XIV himself, the portrait is renowned for its grandeur and is considered one of the most iconic representations of absolute monarchy in the history of French art. The painting depicts the Sun King at the age of 63 in his coronation robes, exuding the pomp and splendor of his reign.

Measuring an imposing 9 feet by 6 feet (approximately 275 cm by 190 cm), the work is a tour de force of baroque portraiture, showcasing Rigaud's mastery of texture, color, and detail. The king is portrayed full-length, standing amidst a lavish setting that includes a draped curtain, a column, and a table bearing the royal crown and scepter, all of which serve to emphasize his regal bearing and the authority of the French monarchy.

The portrait was originally intended as a gift for Louis XIV's grandson, Philip V of Spain, but the king was so pleased with Rigaud's work that he kept the original and instead sent a copy to Spain. The painting's composition, with Louis XIV's confident gaze and the intricate rendering of his luxurious garments and the throne room's opulence, has been interpreted as a deliberate construction of the king's image as an absolute ruler with divine right to govern.

Today, ''Portrait de Louis XIV'' is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris and remains a significant cultural artifact, reflecting the power, politics, and artistic tastes of the late 17th and early 18th centuries in France. Its influence extends beyond art history into the broader cultural and political discourse, symbolizing the era of Louis XIV and the epitome of royal portraiture during the period.
