"The Family of Louis XIV 1638-1715 1670 3" is a notable painting by French artist Jean Nocret, created in 1670. This grandiose group portrait is a celebration of the French monarchy, depicting King Louis XIV surrounded by members of the royal family, each portrayed as figures from classical mythology. The painting is a testament to the power and prestige of the Sun King's reign, as well as an example of the grand manner in French Baroque painting.

In the painting, Louis XIV stands at the center, embodying the sun god Apollo, a clear reference to his moniker "the Sun King" and his central role in the state and culture of France. Surrounding him are his family members, including his mother, Anne of Austria, as Juno; his wife, Maria Theresa of Spain, as Venus; and other relatives taking on the roles of various gods and goddesses. The choice to represent the royal family as deities not only glorifies them but also serves as a visual representation of the divine right of kings, a concept that underpinned Louis XIV's absolute monarchy.

The composition of the painting, with its harmonious arrangement and the use of classical iconography, reflects the influence of the Italian Renaissance and the ideals of the French Academy. Nocret's work is a significant cultural artifact from the period, encapsulating the political and artistic ideals of the time. It is housed in the Palace of Versailles, a fitting location given its historical and symbolic connections to the reign of Louis XIV.

The painting is an important piece of French cultural heritage and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and historical significance. It is a prime example of how art was used as a political tool during the reign of Louis XIV, reinforcing the image of the monarchy and the state's power through visual means.
