EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Racine Reading 'Athalie' Before Louis XIV and Madame de Maintenon," was created by the French painter Julie Philipault, also known as Phlipaut, in 1819. The painting is currently housed in the prestigious Musee du Louvre in Paris. The scene portrays the renowned French playwright Jean Racine (1639-1699) as he reads his tragic play "Athalie" to King Louis XIV (1638-1715) and Madame de Maintenon (1637-1719), the king's second wife and the Marquise de Maintenon. This historical moment took place before the establishment of the Sun King's absolute rule, around 1668. Louis XIV, also known as Louis le Grand, is depicted in regal attire, wearing a crown and a red robe adorned with gold, symbolizing his royal status. Madame de Maintenon, dressed in elegant black, sits beside him, her attention fully focused on Racine's dramatic recitation. Racine, with a serious expression, holds the manuscript of his play, which is open on his lap. This painting is an excellent representation of the aristocracy and the neoclassical genre of the modern age. The use of oil on wood adds depth and texture to the image, capturing the intricacies of the subjects' clothing and the richness of the setting. The painting provides a glimpse into the world of French history, showcasing the connection between literature, the monarchy, and the nobility during the time of Louis XIV. Philipault's masterful portrayal of this significant encounter between Racine, Louis XIV, and Madame de Maintenon is a testament to the artist's skill and the enduring legacy of the Sun King's era.
