An official portrait of the Beloved King, between elegance and authority

Created by Louis-Michel van Loo, official court painter, this portrait of Louis XV, king of France from 1715 to 1774, is one of the most famous visual testimonies of the reign of this Enlightenment monarch. Through this work, van Loo immortalizes the presence, youth, and royal power, in a sumptuous yet balanced composition, reflecting the aristocratic rococo style of the 18th century.

A staging of royal majesty in all its splendor

The elegance of an absolute sovereign

In this full-length portrait, Louis XV is depicted in his coronation robe, wearing the traditional blue fleur-de-lis mantle lined with ermine, a symbol of the French monarchy. He holds the insignia of power at his side: sceptre, crown, hand of justice, and poses in front of a ceremonial throne, surrounded by sumptuous draperies and classical architectural elements.

The king appears calm, dignified, and confident. His steady gaze and his upright posture convey an undeniable power, while maintaining a certain natural elegance, characteristic of the style of the century. Van Loo, a master in the art of court portraiture, manages to blend monarchical grandeur and decorative refinement, painting with remarkable precision the details of the embroidery, textures, and lighting.

A political and decorative work at the same time

Painted in the 1760s, this portrait was used to spread the image of the monarch in European courts and royal administrations. It was meant to recall the prestige of the French monarchy, its antiquity and stability, despite the tensions that already foreshadowed the revolutionary upheavals to come.
