EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases King Louis XIV of France, also known as Louis the Great or the Sun King. The image depicts him dressed as a Roman emperor, exuding power and regality. Created in 1939, this print is part of the manuscript Les Campagnes de Louis XIV, specifically focusing on the King's campaign during the year 1676. Housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale de France in Paris, this historical artifact provides a glimpse into one of Europe's most influential monarchs. Standing confidently with his hand on his hip, King Louis XIV gazes away from the viewer, perhaps contemplating his next move or strategizing for future conquests. The rich colors and intricate details bring to life not only the king himself but also his surroundings. The tented encampment behind him signifies both military might and opulence associated with royal campaigns during that era. As we delve into this photograph from Verve magazine's July-October 1939 issue, we are transported back to seventeenth-century France. This portrait captures not only a moment in history but also embodies an entire dynasty – the House of Bourbon – which ruled over France for centuries. Through this image, we can appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical significance that define King Louis XIV's reign as one of Europe's most powerful rulers.
