Painting Description
The "Portrait of Louis XV 1710-74 in Coronation Robes, 1715" is a significant work by the renowned French Baroque painter Hyacinthe Rigaud. This portrait captures the young Louis XV, who ascended to the French throne in 1715 at the tender age of five, following the death of his great-grandfather, Louis XIV. Rigaud, celebrated for his grandiose and detailed portraits of European royalty and nobility, was commissioned to create this work to commemorate the young king's coronation and to assert his legitimacy and royal authority.
In this portrait, Louis XV is depicted in his coronation robes, which are richly adorned with the fleur-de-lis, the traditional symbol of French royalty. The robes are rendered with meticulous attention to detail, showcasing Rigaud's mastery in depicting luxurious fabrics and textures. The young king is portrayed with an air of regality and solemnity, despite his youth, which underscores the gravity of his new role as the sovereign of France.
Rigaud's composition is both grand and intimate, balancing the opulence of the coronation attire with a focus on the youthful features of the king. The background of the portrait is typically Baroque, featuring dramatic drapery and a sense of depth that enhances the overall grandeur of the image. The use of light and shadow in the painting further accentuates the three-dimensionality of the figure and the richness of the materials.
This portrait not only serves as a historical document but also as a piece of propaganda, reinforcing the divine right of kings and the continuity of the Bourbon dynasty. It reflects the political and cultural milieu of early 18th-century France, where art played a crucial role in shaping and projecting the image of the monarchy. Rigaud's portrayal of Louis XV in his coronation robes remains an enduring symbol of the young king's early reign and the grandeur of the French court.
