Painting Description
"Louis IX 1214-70 King of France" by Pierre Duflos is an engraving that depicts Louis IX, also known as Saint Louis, who reigned as King of France from 1226 until his death in 1270. Pierre Duflos, a French engraver active during the late 17th and early 18th centuries, is known for his detailed and precise engravings of historical figures and events. This particular work is part of a larger tradition of portraying monarchs and notable historical figures in art, serving both as a means of commemoration and a tool for studying the physiognomy and fashion of the past.
Louis IX is celebrated for his Christian piety and his role in the Seventh and Eighth Crusades. He was canonized as a saint in 1297 by Pope Boniface VIII, making him the only French monarch to be declared a saint. Duflos' engraving captures the king in a dignified pose, likely intended to reflect his saintly virtues and royal authority. The artwork contributes to the visual historiography of French monarchy, offering insights into the iconography of Louis IX and the artistic conventions of the period in which Duflos worked.
The engraving is an important piece for scholars and enthusiasts of French history, art history, and royal iconography, providing a visual representation that complements historical texts about Louis IX's reign and legacy. As with many works of its kind, "Louis IX 1214-70 King of France" by Pierre Duflos not only serves as a piece of artistic expression but also as a historical document, reflecting the cultural and artistic milieu of its time.
