Painting Description
"The Departure of Louis XV from Sainte-Chapelle after the lit de justice which ended the reign of Louis XIV, 12th September 1715" is a historical painting by the French artist Pierre-Denis Martin, known as Martin the Younger, to distinguish him from his uncle by the same name. Created in 1735, this artwork captures a pivotal moment in French history, depicting the young King Louis XV leaving the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris after a lit de justice—a formal session of the Parlement of Paris, presided over by the king, to enforce the registration of royal edicts.
The painting serves as a visual record of the transition of power from Louis XIV, known as the Sun King, who had ruled France with an iron fist for 72 years, to his great-grandson and successor, Louis XV. The event marked the end of an era and the beginning of a new reign under a monarch who would come to be known as "Louis the Beloved" before his reputation declined in later years.
Pierre-Denis Martin's work is notable for its detailed representation of the royal procession and the architectural grandeur of the medieval Sainte-Chapelle, a Gothic chapel located within the medieval Palais de la Cité, the residence of the Kings of France until the 14th century. The artist's attention to detail not only provides a glimpse into the ceremonial aspects of French monarchy but also reflects the social and political context of the early 18th century.
The painting is an example of the Baroque style, which was characterized by dramatic expression, rich coloration, and grandeur. Martin was known for his skill in capturing the opulence of the French court and the pomp of royal events. "The Departure of Louis XV from Sainte-Chapelle" is considered one of his significant works, contributing to the visual documentation of French royal history.
This historical painting is an important artifact for both art history and the study of French monarchical traditions, offering insight into the period's cultural and political landscape. It remains a testament to the artist's legacy as a chronicler of the grandeur of the French court through his masterful brushwork and composition.
