EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithography print captures a significant historical encounter between two influential figures of the 17th century. In this image, Nicolas Fouquet, a prominent French politician and superintendent of finances under Louis XIV, receives an audience with the young king himself at the magnificent chateau of Vaux-le-Vicomte in 1661. The composition beautifully portrays the opulence and grandeur that characterized the court of Louis XIV, known as Le Roi-Soleil or King Soleil. The rich colors and intricate details bring to life the lavish attire worn by both men, emphasizing their status and power. Nicolas Fouquet's expression reveals his admiration for Louis XIV as he welcomes him into his splendid domain. This meeting was not only a display of wealth but also served as a symbol of political influence and ambition during this era. The late 19th-century chromolithography technique used to create this print adds depth and vibrancy to every element captured within its frame. It is evident that Stefano Bianchetti skillfully executed this artwork, capturing the essence of this historic moment. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our private collection today, it serves as a reminder of an extraordinary encounter between two individuals who played pivotal roles in shaping French history.
