EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases King Louis XIV and his family dressed in elaborate mythological figures. The king himself, seated on a magnificent throne, is adorned as Apollo, the Greek god of music and poetry. On the right side of the image, Queen Mary Therese of Austria embodies Juno, the queen of all gods in Roman mythology. In the center, we see Queen Mother Anne of Austria transformed into Cybele, an ancient Phrygian goddess associated with fertility and nature. On the left side stands Philip Duke of Orleans, also known as Monsieur or Mister. He takes on the guise of a morning star while being surrounded by his wife Henriette of England as a nymph and their daughter Marie Louise d'Orleans depicted as Zephyr -the gentle wind god. Completing this enchanting scene is Henriette Marie de France (Queen of England), who assumes the role of Amphitrite -the sea goddess- positioned at the extreme left. Painted by Jean Nocret in 1670 for Sun King's court at Versailles Palace, this grand artwork measures 3.05 x 4.2 meters and beautifully captures both regality and fantasy within its frame. The intricate details showcased throughout highlight not only Louis XIV's love for opulence but also his desire to associate himself with powerful mythical beings from antiquity.
