EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of grandeur and opulence during the reign of King Louis XIV. The image showcases an Ecuyer, or horseman, accompanied by a Persian page as they participate in a carousel organized by the illustrious monarch. Engraved by Francois Chauveau around 1662, this exquisite piece is now part of a private collection. The scene depicted in this engraving transports us back to the vibrant court life of 17th-century France. The costumes worn by both figures are intricately detailed, reflecting the extravagant fashion trends of the time. The horses stand tall and majestic, their presence adding to the overall splendor of the event. King Louis XIV was known for his love of equestrian pursuits and lavish entertainment. Carousels were popular spectacles during his reign, providing an opportunity for nobles and courtiers to showcase their horsemanship skills while indulging in elaborate displays. Francois Chauveau's masterful engraving perfectly captures not only the physicality but also the theatricality involved in these events. From the dynamic poses of both riders to the carefully etched details on each figure's attire, every element contributes to creating a sense of grandeur and drama. This remarkable photograph print offers viewers a glimpse into history—a moment frozen in time that allows us to appreciate both artistic skill and cultural significance.
