Painting Description
"Carosel Fait A La Place Royalle A Paris Le V. Vi. Vii. Avril Mdcxii" is a historical engraving by Matthäus Merian the Elder, a notable Swiss-German engraver and publisher active during the early 17th century. The work, whose title translates to "Carousel Held at the Place Royale in Paris on the 5th, 6th, 7th of April 1612," depicts the grand carousel or tournament held in honor of the double marriage of the royal family, which was a significant event during the reign of Louis XIII of France.
The engraving is a detailed representation of the festivities that took place at the Place Royale (now known as Place des Vosges) in Paris. It captures the elaborate decorations, the nobility on horseback, and the various competitions that were part of the carousel. This event was not just a display of horsemanship and pageantry but also a political statement, celebrating the marriages of Louis XIII's sister, Elisabeth of France, to Philip IV of Spain, and the Spanish Infanta Anne to Louis XIII, which were intended to strengthen the Franco-Spanish alliance.
Matthäus Merian the Elder was renowned for his detailed cityscapes and historical scenes. His works were widely disseminated throughout Europe and were influential in spreading the visual culture of the period. "Carosel Fait A La Place Royalle A Paris Le V. Vi. Vii. Avril Mdcxii" is an important historical document that provides insight into the cultural and social life of early 17th-century France, as well as the political landscape of the time. The engraving is not only significant for its artistic merit but also for its value as a historical record of a lavish event that epitomized the splendor of the French court.
This work is part of Merian's larger oeuvre, which includes a vast collection of topographical views and historical prints that were highly sought after during his lifetime and remain of interest to collectors and historians today. The engraving is an exemplary piece of Merian's skill in capturing the grandeur and complexity of public celebrations, and it continues to be a subject of study for those interested in the art, culture, and history of the early modern period.
