First Promotion of the Order of Saint Louis, 10th May 1693 - A Historic Moment Captured in Time
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the significant event known as the "First Promotion of the Order of Saint Louis" which took place on the 10th of May in 1693. Painted by François Marot, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 51x76 cm and is housed at the Château de Versailles in France. The image depicts a scene filled with grandeur and prestige. In the foreground, we witness a group of distinguished men being knighted into this prestigious order. The knights stand tall, adorned in their regal attire - powdered wigs atop their heads and swords held firmly by their sides. Their faces exude pride and honor as they receive this esteemed recognition from King Louis XIV himself. Surrounded by opulent tapestries and ornate furnishings, King Louis XIV presides over this momentous occasion with grace and authority. This painting captures not only his power but also his appreciation for arts and culture as he is accompanied by renowned playwright Molière. Marot's attention to detail brings life to each character portrayed within this historical tableau. From facial expressions to intricate costumes, every element contributes to creating an atmosphere that transports viewers back to a time when chivalry was revered. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of the significance bestowed upon those who were deemed worthy enough to join such an illustrious order
