EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail from the "Baptism of the Dauphin" tapestry, created by the renowned French artist Charles Le Brun in the 17th century. The tapestry was produced at the prestigious Gobelins royal manufactory and depicts an important ceremony during the reign of Louis XIV, known as the Sun King. In this particular scene, we witness a momentous baptism taking place within an opulent interior. A priest stands at the center, solemnly performing his religious duties while surrounded by flickering candles that illuminate every corner of the room. The grand chandelier overhead casts a warm glow on all present. The attention to detail is exquisite; each figure is meticulously dressed in fashionable attire befitting their status. Men don knee-length coats paired with bloomer leg breeches and wear wigs under low-crowned hats. This glimpse into 17th-century French fashion transports us back to a time when style was synonymous with royalty. As we delve into history through this remarkable image, we are reminded of France's rich monarchy and its grandeur under Louis XIV's rule. This print serves as a visual testament to both artistic mastery and cultural heritage, inviting us to appreciate not only Le Brun's talent but also Nancy Mitford's insightful book "The Sun King. "
