EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of artistry and opulence from the Louis XIV collection of jewels. The exquisite cup, crafted in lapis lazuli, is adorned with intricate silver garlands featuring delicate ceramic and enamelled flowers. Atop this magnificent creation stands Neptune, the god of the sea, adding an air of grandeur to the composition. The base of the cup is embellished with sphinxes and exotic animals, further enhancing its regal allure. This stunning artifact transports us back to the 17th century when Louis XIV reigned as the Sun King over France. The rich blue hue of lapis lazuli adds a touch of majesty to this ornate goblet, reflecting both its rarity and significance in royal circles. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are reminded of the power and splendor associated with monarchy during that era. Nancy Mitford's book "The Sun King" offers valuable insights into Louis XIV's reign and his passion for collecting such extraordinary treasures. This particular image captures a moment frozen in time - a testament to human craftsmanship and artistic expression. Whether displayed as part of an antique collection or admired for its sheer beauty alone, this lapis lazuli cup surmounted by Neptune serves as a tangible reminder of Europe's rich history and enduring fascination with royalty.
