The "Portrait of Louis XIV" by Hyacinthe Rigaud is one of the most iconic and celebrated depictions of the French monarch, King Louis XIV, who reigned from 1643 to 1715. Painted in 1701, this grandiose portrait exemplifies the Baroque style and serves as a powerful symbol of the Sun King's absolute monarchy and the splendor of his court at Versailles. Rigaud, a master portraitist of his time, was commissioned to create this work to commemorate Louis XIV's 63rd birthday and to assert the king's enduring power and majesty.

The portrait is notable for its meticulous attention to detail and its elaborate composition. Louis XIV is depicted in full regalia, adorned in a lavish coronation robe lined with ermine and embroidered with the fleur-de-lis, the symbol of French royalty. He stands confidently, with one hand resting on his hip and the other holding a scepter, exuding an air of authority and command. His gaze is direct and imperious, reinforcing his status as the embodiment of the French state.

The background of the painting is equally opulent, featuring rich drapery and classical architectural elements that enhance the sense of grandeur. The use of light and shadow in the portrait highlights the textures of the luxurious fabrics and the king's dignified posture. Rigaud's skillful rendering of the king's face captures both his aging features and his enduring vitality, making the portrait a timeless representation of Louis XIV's reign.

This portrait not only served as a political statement but also as a piece of propaganda, reinforcing the image of Louis XIV as the ultimate ruler whose authority was divinely ordained. It was widely reproduced and distributed, further cementing the king's image in the public consciousness. Today, the "Portrait of Louis XIV" by Hyacinthe Rigaud is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be admired for its artistic excellence and historical significance.
