"Portrait of Louis XIV" is a monumental painting by the French Baroque artist Hyacinthe Rigaud, created in 1694. This iconic oil on canvas work is renowned for its grandeur and is considered one of the most famous depictions of the Sun King, Louis XIV of France. The portrait was originally commissioned by the king to serve as a gift for his grandson, Philip V of Spain. However, upon seeing the finished work, Louis XIV was so impressed that he decided to keep the original for himself and instead sent a copy to Spain.

The painting stands as a symbol of absolute monarchy and the epitome of royal portraiture during the Ancien Régime. It showcases the king in his coronation robes, standing next to a coronet-topped column, draped in luxurious fabrics, and wearing his Order of the Holy Spirit and Order of the Garter. The portrait is imbued with symbolism and meticulously crafted details that emphasize the king's power, dignity, and the divine right to rule.

Rigaud's masterpiece is celebrated for its exquisite detail, from the intricate lace and embroidery of the king's attire to the sumptuous textures of velvet and fur. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow enhances the three-dimensional quality of the figure and garments, while the king's confident pose and piercing gaze convey his authority and control.

Today, the "Portrait of Louis XIV" is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris and remains a quintessential example of 17th-century French portraiture. It has had a significant impact on the visual representation of sovereignty and has influenced the portrayal of rulers in European art for generations. The painting is not only a testament to Rigaud's talent but also a historical document that reflects the grandeur and splendor of the French court at the height of its power.
