Royal body and state image · Louis XIV staged
Rigaud and Mignard present Louis XIV as a sacred sovereign, warrior, emperor and rider, constructing an instantly recognizable political image.
The portraits of Louis XIV accompany the construction of his authority and adapt the royal image to ages, functions and audiences. Hyacinthe Rigaud sets the most famous formula: Louis XIV in large royal costume combines fleurdelisé coat, highlighted legs, scepter, crown and monumental decor. The modello allows us to observe the preparation of this official composition. In armor, the king appears as war leader, protected by metal but always distinguished by face and insignia. Pierre Mignard represents the young Louis XIV before the full maturity of the reign, then transforms him into a Roman emperor in order to place the French monarchy in the ancient heritage. Equestrian portraiture finally extends sovereignty to movement and space. The "Portraits Louis XIV" selection notably compares Louis XIV - Hyacinthe Rigaud and Modello for the Portrait of Louis XIV in large royal costume - Hyacinthe Rigaud. His reading favors the story.
The image of Louis XIV never shows just one man: it organizes a body, a costume and a decor to make a state function visible.
