The Lever of King Louis XIV - A Glimpse into the Opulent World of the Sun King
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous scene from the life of one of history's most extravagant monarchs, King Louis XIV. Known as the Sun King, he ruled over France with unparalleled grandeur and elegance during the 17th century. In this vividly colored lithograph by Maurice Leloir, we are transported to the inner sanctum of French courtly life. The image depicts an intimate gathering in Louis XIV's private chamber as he prepares for his daily lever - a ritualistic ceremony where nobles would attend him while he dressed for the day. The luxuriousness is palpable in every detail; from sumptuous fabrics cascading around him to intricate buckles adorning his shoes. The king himself stands tall and regal, radiating power and authority befitting his title. Surrounded by courtiers eagerly awaiting their turn to assist him, this snapshot offers a rare glimpse into both royal fashion and court etiquette during that era. It showcases not only Louis XIV's impeccable taste but also highlights how clothing played a significant role in projecting status and wealth within French society. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of France's rich cultural heritage and its enduring influence on art and fashion worldwide. This photograph print serves as a testament to the splendor that defined Louis XIV's reign – an era synonymous with lavishness, refinement
