Taken in the late 19th century, this image transports us back to the opulent 17th century when textiles and fashion played a crucial role in defining royal power. Louis XIV's Minister of Finance, Colbert, was instrumental in establishing both Gobelins and the Sevres porcelain factory. This photograph showcases his vision coming to life as we witness the bustling textile industry at its peak. The vibrant colors and intricate designs on display are a testament to France's mastery in tapestry manufacturing during this period. The grandeur of this scene is further enhanced by the majestic architecture surrounding Louis XIV and his entourage. The building itself exudes an air of regality befitting a monarch's visit. It serves as a reminder that Paris was not only known for its artistic prowess but also for being an epicenter of trade and industry. As we gaze upon this chromolithograph, we can't help but marvel at how it encapsulates centuries' worth of craftsmanship and cultural heritage within one frame. It immortalizes Louis XIV - also known as "Le Roi Soleil" or "The Sun King" - who left an indelible mark on French history through his patronage of arts and culture.
