"Louis XIV of Bourbon (1638-1715), King of France (1643-1715), Wearing Armour, Frilled White Lace at His Neck and Blue Sash of the Order of St. Esprit" is a notable enamel miniature by Jean I Petitot, a renowned enamel painter of the 17th century. The work is a portrait of Louis XIV, also known as the Sun King, who reigned over France for a remarkable 72 years, from 1643 until his death in 1715. This period was marked by the consolidation of royal power and the flourishing of French culture, making Louis XIV one of the most significant monarchs in European history.

The miniature, which dates from the 17th century, depicts the young king in a martial pose, adorned with the regalia befitting his royal status and military command. The artwork is distinguished by the intricate detailing of the king's armor and the delicate frilled white lace at his neck, which contrasts with the striking blue sash of the Order of the Holy Spirit, France's highest chivalric order. The sash is a symbol of the king's sovereign authority and his role as the order's grandmaster.

Jean I Petitot, the Swiss-born artist who created this work, was celebrated for his mastery of enamel painting, a technique that involves fusing powdered glass to metal through high-temperature firing to create a vitreous, lustrous finish. Petitot's portraits were highly sought after by European royalty and aristocracy for their exquisite detail and durability, which surpassed that of traditional oil paintings of the time.

The miniature is a testament to the grandeur of the French monarchy during the age of absolutism and is an important piece of cultural heritage that offers insight into the representation of monarchical power and the artistry of enamel painting in the Baroque period. It remains a valuable artifact for historians and art enthusiasts alike, reflecting the opulence and political symbolism of the era in which it was created.
