EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterful artistry of Italian sculptor Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini in his creation of the Equestrian Statue of King Louis XIV. Dated between 1669 and 1670, this sculpture serves as a model for the monument that now stands at the Palace of Versailles. The Baroque artwork, characterized by its dynamic and dramatic style, is a testament to Bernini's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of power and grandeur. The statue depicts King Louis XIV, known as "Le Roi Soleil" or "The Sun King," astride a galloping horse. The king's regal demeanor and the horse's muscular form convey a sense of strength and vitality. Bernini's intricate attention to detail is evident in the lifelike rendering of the king's face and the realistic textures of the horse's mane and tail. The statue was originally created for the Piazza San Pietro in Rome but was later rejected by the Pope. It was eventually acquired by the Borghese family and is now on display at the Borghese Gallery and Museum in Rome. This print offers a unique glimpse into the rich history of Baroque art and the enduring legacy of Bernini's masterpiece. The image is presented in a horizontal format, with vibrant colors that bring out the intricacies of the sculpture. The portrait-like quality of the print invites viewers to examine the details of the figures, making it an essential addition to any collection of art or history.
