Painting Description
"Louis XV 1710-74" is a notable oil painting by the French artist Louis Michel van Loo, created in 1765. The portrait features King Louis XV of France, who reigned from 1715 until his death in 1774. As a prominent example of 18th-century French portraiture, the painting is celebrated for its representation of the monarch's regal bearing and the opulence of his attire, which reflects the grandeur of his court.
Louis Michel van Loo, a member of the distinguished van Loo family of painters, was a court painter to King Louis XV. His position allowed him intimate access to the royal family, enabling him to capture the likeness and personality of the king with a high degree of fidelity. The painting showcases the artist's skill in rendering the textures of fabrics and the intricate details of the king's garments, including his decorated coat and the Order of the Holy Spirit sash, which was the highest chivalric honor in France at the time.
Measuring 155 cm by 213 cm, "Louis XV 1710-74" is a large-scale work that commands attention. The king is depicted seated on a throne, with a majestic pose that conveys his authority and the absolute power he wielded as a monarch. The composition, use of light, and color palette are characteristic of the Rococo style, which was prevalent during Louis XV's reign and is often associated with the excesses of the French aristocracy prior to the French Revolution.
The painting is not only a significant piece of art history but also serves as a historical document, providing insight into the visual culture and political symbolism of the French monarchy in the 18th century. "Louis XV 1710-74" is housed in the Palace of Versailles, the former royal residence, which is now a museum and one of the most visited cultural sites in France. The portrait remains an important artifact in the study of French art and the representation of European sovereigns in portraiture.
