EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable bronze medal made by Michel Molard in 1650, depicting the iconic Louis XIV, also known as the Sun King. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in this exquisite piece of French art. The circular medal captures the essence of triumph and power, with Louis XIV portrayed riding a majestic horse-drawn chariot. The coupling of these magnificent creatures symbolizes strength and nobility, reflecting the king's reign during the 17th century. Louis XIV, who reigned from 1638 to 1715, is famously referred to as the Sun King due to his association with Apollo, the sun god. This title is inscribed on the medal itself, emphasizing his grandeur and influence over France. The image transports us back in time to an era when horses played a vital role in transportation and warfare. From racehorses to ponies and shire horses, several animals are depicted alongside Louis XIV's regal presence. These farm animals represent not only their practical use but also serve as symbols of wealth and prosperity. Displayed against a backdrop of gold accents that enhance its splendor further, this bronze medal encapsulates both historical significance and artistic brilliance. It serves as a testament to Molard's talent as well as an enduring tribute to one of France's most influential monarchs. This print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate not only fine art but also delve into history through visual storytelling.
