Born in 1638 and crowned in 1643, Louis XIV reigned over France for more than 70 years, symbolizing royal absolutism and the cultural influence of the kingdom. His taste for the arts, architecture, and the representation of power led to the creation of Versailles, as well as a unique royal aesthetic.
Thanks to painters such as Hyacinthe Rigaud, Charles Le Brun, or Nicolas de Largillière, his image becomes the very embodiment of the French monarchy. Embroidered costumes, solemn poses, confident gazes: each portrait of Louis XIV is a visual assertion of his authority and greatness.
