"Louis XV in Coronation Robes" is a significant 18th-century oil painting by the French artist Louis Michel van Loo, created in 1723. This grand portrait depicts Louis XV, King of France and Navarre, in his majestic coronation robes, symbolizing his royal authority and the opulence of the French monarchy. The painting is a quintessential example of royal portraiture of the period, showcasing the young king at the age of thirteen, shortly after his coronation in October 1722.

Louis Michel van Loo, a member of the prominent Van Loo family of painters, was a court painter to Louis XV and is renowned for his portraits of the French aristocracy and royalty. In this work, he captures the youthful monarch with an air of regal dignity, dressed in sumptuous garments and surrounded by the regalia associated with the coronation ceremony, including the crown, scepter, and Hand of Justice. The painting is notable for its meticulous detail, from the intricate embroidery of the robes to the delicate rendering of the king's features.

The portrait served not only as a representation of the king but also as a tool of propaganda, emphasizing the divine right of kings and the continuity of the Bourbon dynasty during a period of political consolidation. It was intended to inspire loyalty and reverence among the French populace and to solidify the young king's image as a sovereign by divine providence.

Today, "Louis XV in Coronation Robes" is considered an important artifact of French cultural heritage, offering insight into the art, politics, and society of the early 18th century. The painting is housed in the Palace of Versailles, the former royal residence and a symbol of the absolute monarchy of the Ancien Régime. It remains a subject of study for art historians and a popular attraction for visitors interested in the grandeur of the French monarchy and the history of royal portraiture.
