EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Lous et Invalides" and dated 1675, offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of Paris and the reign of King Louis XIV. The allegorical depiction illustrates the foundation of the Hotel des Invalides, a historic site that continues to captivate visitors to this day. At the center of the image, King Louis XIV, resplendent in his regal attire, stands proudly, symbolizing the strength and power of the French monarchy. He holds a model of the Hotel des Invalides in his hand, signifying his role in its creation. The architectural masterpiece, still under construction at the time, is depicted in the background, with workers toiling away to bring the king's vision to life. The Hotel des Invalides was originally built as a home for wounded soldiers and invalid veterans, providing them with care and support. The name "Invalides" comes from the French word "invalide," meaning invalid. King Louis XIV's compassionate gesture was a testament to his commitment to the welfare of his soldiers and the French people. The print also features various allegorical figures representing virtues such as Fortitude, Charity, and Valor. These figures underscore the importance of the values that the Hotel des Invalides embodied – care for the sick and wounded, and the recognition of the sacrifices made by soldiers in the service of their country. This beautiful print is a captivating reminder of the historical significance of the Hotel des Invalides and the enduring legacy of King Louis XIV. It offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the grandeur and vision of one of the most influential monarchs in French history.
