EDITORS COMMENTS
The Month of February, from the series of tapestries The Months or Royal Residences, captures a moment in time during the reign of Louis XIV. In this exquisite print by Charles Le Brun, we are transported to the grandeur and opulence of the French court. Louis XIV himself is depicted attending a ballet in either the Palais-Royal or the Louvre, surrounded by his courtiers and spectators. The scene is adorned with intricate details, from luxurious carpets and ionic columns to garlands of flowers and exotic fruits. A magnificent eagle perches on top of an ornate balustrade, symbolizing power and majesty. The cartouche at the bottom features the astrological sign of fish (Pisces), representing February's zodiac sign. This inclusion adds a touch of mysticism to an already enchanting composition. Le Brun's mastery shines through in his depiction of dancers gracefully moving across the stage while cranes roam freely amidst lush botanical elements. Every thread woven into this tapestry tells a story - one that speaks volumes about both artistry and history. This stunning print serves as a reminder not only of France's rich artistic heritage but also its deep appreciation for beauty and elegance. It invites us to step back in time and immerse ourselves in an era where luxury reigned supreme.
