EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil painting, titled "Allegory of the Engagement of Louis XV to the Infanta Marie-Anne-Victoire of Spain" (1722), is a masterpiece by the renowned French artist Nicolas de Largilliere. The painting, created in the 19th century, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of France and the historic event it depicts. The scene unfolds on a grand canvas, with King Louis XV of France, or "Louis le Bien-Aime" (Louis the Beloved), standing proudly before an awe-struck crowd. The King, dressed in royal robes, extends his hand towards the Infanta Marie-Anne-Victoire of Spain, represented by the goddess Minerva, the symbol of wisdom and war. The Infanta, depicted as Mariana Victoria of Spain, is shown in elegant attire, her hand gracefully placed on a scepter, signifying her royal status. The allegorical nature of the painting highlights the divine right of kings and the official engagement of the French monarch to the Spanish Infanta. The painting is a group portrait, featuring a gathering of men, some of whom are identified as important figures of the time. The use of vibrant colors and intricate details adds to the painting's allure and historical significance. This painting, a cherished piece of France's artistic heritage, is now on display at the Musée Carnavalet in Paris, where it continues to captivate visitors and scholars alike, offering a glimpse into the past and the historic event that brought two European powers closer together.
