]]> By the mid 17th century, France had overshadowed England as Europe’s largest and most powerful entity. Louis XIV reigned as the absolute monarch, with very few, if any, limitations. To further inflate his power, he became known as “le Roi Soleil”, or “the Sun King.” This name alluded to his divine lineage to the Greek god, Apollo and simultaneously, but not so subtly, declared him the center of the universe. Hence, it truly comes as no surprise that every detail in his portrait is intended to remind viewers of his supremacy as monarch.

We again see the King placed directly in the center, drawing all eyes to him with his authoritative pose. While his body is angled, his head is turned to meet the viewer with the directness and confidence expected of a king. Each shimmering, luxurious textile is included to create the opulent environment appropriate only for someone of Louis’s status. He is dressed in his coronation robes; the black and white ermine as well as the field of rich blue embellished with gold fleur-de-lis, symbolize the French monarchy. Hanging from Louis’s hip is a bejeweled royal sword, highlighting his military prowess. Just in case you forgot he was king, his crown rests in the shadows just to his right.
