EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Louis XIV, the renowned King of France, as he participates in the "Ballet de la Nuit" in 1653. Dressed in a stunning sunshine suit, Louis XIV stands proudly in the grand hall of the Little-Bourbon in Paris. The chromotypograph by Maurice Leloir beautifully showcases this historical moment. Known as Le Roi-Soleil or King Soleil, Louis XIV exudes regality and power through his majestic presence. As a participant in this ballet performance, he demonstrates not only his love for the arts but also his desire to showcase his magnificence to all who witness it. The "Ballet de la Nuit" was an extravagant production with libretto by Isaac de Benserade and music composed by Jean-Baptiste Lully. It was a celebration of light triumphing over darkness and marked an important event during Louis XIV's reign. In this image, we see Louis XIV surrounded by opulent decor created by Felice Torelli. The vibrant colors captured through chromotypography add depth and richness to the scene, transporting us back to 17th-century France. This print is part of Gustave Toutwelve's collection titled "Le Roy Soleil" which pays homage to Louis XIV's legacy as one of history's most influential kings. Stefano Bianchetti has preserved this piece from Fine Art Finder for future generations to appreciate and admire.
