EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic moment of the foundation of the Oriental India Company by Louis XIV, the illustrious king of France. The image, captured by Adam Frans van der Meulen, a renowned Flemish artist, transports us back to this significant event in history. In this scene, we witness a grand gathering taking place within an opulent hall adorned with intricate details and luxurious furnishings. The regal atmosphere is enhanced by the presence of King Louis XIV himself seated on a magnificent throne, exuding power and authority. Surrounding him are members of his court and influential figures who played pivotal roles in establishing this groundbreaking company. The composition also includes a hallebardier standing guard at attention near the entrance, symbolizing protection and security for this new venture. Additionally, Mercury, the Roman god associated with commerce and travel, can be seen hovering above as if overseeing the journey that lies ahead for this newly formed enterprise. This photograph not only captures a historical moment but also invites us to contemplate the ambition and vision behind such endeavors during that era. It serves as a reminder of how exploration and trade shaped nations' destinies while leaving an indelible mark on our collective history.
