EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable moment in history, capturing the young Louis XV and the Infanta of Spain, Maria Ana Victoria. Painted by Alexis Simon Belle around 1724, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 99x124 cm and is currently housed at the Château de Versailles in France. Louis XV, who reigned as King of France from 1715 to 1774, is depicted alongside his intended bride-to-be, Maria Ana Victoria. Although they were engaged at the time this portrait was created, circumstances prevented their marriage from taking place. Instead, Maria Ana Victoria went on to become the wife of Joseph I of Portugal. In this exquisite artwork, both Louis XV and Maria Ana Victoria are portrayed as children with an air of innocence surrounding them. The young king wears lavish gold brocade attire adorned with delicate lace details while holding a bouquet of flowers. Meanwhile, Maria Ana Victoria radiates grace and elegance in her regal gown. The oval-shaped composition adds a touch of refinement to this portrait that beautifully captures their youthful charm. This painting serves as a testament to the intricate artistry and attention to detail displayed by Belle throughout his career. As we gaze upon this enchanting image captured by Fine Art Finder's lens at www. bridgemanimages. com , we are transported back in time to witness a significant moment between two influential figures whose destinies took different paths but remain forever intertwined in history's tapestry.
