EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Louis XIV, 1662," is a stunning depiction of King Louis XIV of France, also known as "Le Roi Soleil" or "The Sun King." Created by the Flemish artist Pierre Louis van Schuppen (1632-1694), this masterpiece was produced in 1662, during the height of Louis XIV's reign. The image showcases the monarch in an oval-shaped frame, with his head and shoulders taking center stage. Louis XIV is depicted wearing a grand, ornate coat of arms adorned with the fleur-de-lis, the royal symbol of France. The king's regal attire, complete with a velvet cape and a star-studded collar, adds to his majestic appearance. The engraving, which is part of the collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the 17th century. The intricate details in the drawing, such as the delicate folds in the king's clothing and the delicate lines in his facial features, demonstrate the exceptional skill of Pierre Louis van Schuppen. The artist, who was a student of the renowned Flemish painter Nicolas Mignard, employed the technique of engraving on paper to create this work of art. The resulting image is a beautiful blend of art and history, offering a glimpse into the life and legacy of one of France's most iconic monarchs. The image's historic significance is further emphasized by the inclusion of the king's blazon, or coat of arms, which is prominently displayed in the upper left corner of the engraving. This heraldic symbol serves as a reminder of the power and prestige that Louis XIV held during his reign, which lasted from 1643 to 1715. Overall, "Louis XIV, 1662" is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of France, European art, or the life of this fascinating monarch. Its timeless beauty and historical significance make it a true treasure in the world of art.
