EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a young Louis XV, the future King of France, during his childhood years. Created by an unknown artist around 1716-1724, this portrait showcases the exquisite fashion and artistry of the time. The young prince is depicted wearing luxurious fur robes adorned with intricate embroidery and velvet accents, symbolizing his royal status. The vibrant colors and attention to detail in this oil painting bring out the opulence of the Baroque era. Louis XV sits confidently on a cushioned throne, surrounded by sumptuous fabrics that further emphasize his regal presence. His delicate stockings and ermine-trimmed robe add an air of elegance to his youthful appearance. As one gazes upon this masterpiece displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), it becomes evident why Louis XV was known as a fashionable monarch who influenced French style during his reign. Hyacinthe Rigaud masterfully captured the essence of royalty in this portrait, showcasing both the artistic talent of its creator and the grandeur associated with kingship. This print serves as a remarkable testament to French history and heritage while offering viewers a glimpse into the life of one of Europe's most influential rulers. It invites us to marvel at not only Louis XV's physical beauty but also appreciate how art can immortalize moments from centuries past for generations to come.
