Painting Description
"Philippe I, 1640-1701, Duke of Orleans as the King of Persia, part of the Carousel Given by Louis XIV, 1638-1715, in Front of the Tuileries, 5th June 1662" is a historical artwork by Israel Silvestre the Younger, a French artist known for his prints and drawings of landscapes and historical events. This particular piece depicts Philippe I, Duke of Orléans, brother of Louis XIV, dressed in an elaborate costume representing the King of Persia during a carousel—a festive tournament-like event. The carousel was held on June 5, 1662, in front of the Tuileries Palace in Paris and was organized by Louis XIV to celebrate the birth of his son, Louis, le Grand Dauphin.
The artwork captures the grandeur and pageantry of the French court during the reign of Louis XIV, also known as the Sun King, who was renowned for his patronage of the arts and the lavish spectacles he commissioned. Philippe I is portrayed in the center of the composition, surrounded by other noblemen and participants in the carousel, all dressed in exotic and sumptuous costumes designed to evoke the splendor of a Persian court.
Israel Silvestre the Younger, born in 1621 and died in 1691, was a prolific engraver and draftsman, and his works serve as valuable historical records of the architecture and festivities of 17th-century France. His detailed representation in this piece not only provides insight into the cultural practices of the time but also reflects the political and social aspirations of the French monarchy, which sought to project an image of absolute power and divine right.
The artwork is significant for its artistic merit, as well as for its documentary value, offering a glimpse into the elaborate court life and the performative aspects of monarchy during the Ancien Régime. It remains an important piece for historians and art enthusiasts alike, who are interested in the intersection of art, history, and the representation of royal power.
