EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Louis XV, the King of France from 1710 to 1774. Painted around 1727 by Jean-Baptiste van Loo, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 205x171 cm and is currently housed in the Château de Versailles in France. At just seventeen years old when this portrait was created, Louis XV exudes a regal aura befitting his royal status. The artist skillfully captures every detail of the young monarch's appearance. Dressed in an opulent ermine cloak and adorned with a majestic crown, Louis XV holds a sceptre symbolizing his authority. His armor signifies both strength and protection. The composition includes several elements that further emphasize Louis XV's significance as king. A table featuring various objects rests beside him, suggesting his involvement in matters of statecraft and governance. Additionally, he wears the prestigious Order of the Saint Esprit sash across his chest—an esteemed honor bestowed upon individuals who demonstrated exceptional service to their country. Van Loo masterfully portrays Louis XV's youthfulness while also conveying his power and importance as ruler of France and Navarre. This remarkable piece offers viewers a glimpse into the life of one of history's most influential figures—a monarch whose reign would shape not only French history but also have far-reaching consequences throughout Europe.
