"Portrait of Louis XIV in Coronation Robes" is a seminal oil painting by the French Baroque artist Hyacinthe Rigaud, created in 1701. This grandiose work is widely recognized as one of the most iconic representations of Louis XIV, the Sun King, and is celebrated for its opulent depiction of the monarch in the full regalia of his coronation. The portrait was originally commissioned by Louis XIV himself as a gift for his grandson, Philip V of Spain, to assert the grandeur of the Bourbon monarchy.

Measuring an impressive 279 cm × 194 cm (9 ft 2 in × 6 ft 4 in), the painting is a tour de force of Baroque portraiture, showcasing Rigaud's mastery of texture, color, and detail. Louis XIV is portrayed standing, draped in a sumptuous ermine-lined royal mantle sprinkled with fleur-de-lis, the symbol of French royalty. The king's pose is both majestic and calculated, with one hand resting on his hip and the other holding a scepter, while his gaze exudes confidence and absolute power.

The portrait is renowned for its meticulous attention to the textures of the king's garments, from the intricate lace of his collar to the luxurious velvet of his robe, all rendered with a high degree of realism. Rigaud's use of light and shadow further accentuates the richness of the fabrics and the king's regal bearing.

Housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, "Portrait of Louis XIV in Coronation Robes" is not only a masterpiece of French art but also a significant historical document. It captures the essence of the Sun King's reign, which was characterized by absolute monarchy and the glorification of the king's image as a symbol of state power. The painting has had a profound influence on royal portraiture and remains a key reference for scholars studying the political and cultural history of France during the reign of Louis XIV.
