"The Family of Louis XIV 1638-1715 1670" is a notable oil on canvas painting by the French artist Jean Nocret (1615–1672), created in 1670. The painting is a grandiose allegorical representation of the French royal family, with King Louis XIV at its center, surrounded by members of his dynasty, depicted as Roman gods and goddesses. This portrayal reflects the absolute power and divine right of the king, who was often referred to as the "Sun King," a term that underscored his status as a ruler around whom the realm revolved.

The painting measures an impressive 7.15 by 5.23 meters and was originally intended to decorate the ceiling of the Queen's antechamber in the Grand Apartment of the Queen at the Palace of Versailles. In this grand composition, Louis XIV is depicted as Jupiter, the king of the gods, asserting his role as the supreme ruler. Surrounding him are various figures representing his family, including his mother Anne of Austria as Juno, his wife Maria Theresa of Spain as Venus, and other relatives taking on the roles of different deities from classical mythology.

Jean Nocret's work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical and cultural implications. It serves as a testament to the power of imagery and portraiture in reinforcing monarchical authority and the divine right to rule during the 17th century. The painting is a prime example of the Baroque style, which was characterized by its dramatic effect, rich color palette, and dynamic composition, all aimed at evoking an emotional response from the viewer.

"The Family of Louis XIV 1638-1715 1670" is housed in the Palace of Versailles, where it remains an important piece of the vast collection of artworks that adorn the historic residence.
