This print captures a pivotal moment in history as King Louis XIV of France crosses the Rhine on 12th June 1672. Painted by Adam Frans van der Meulen, this oil on canvas artwork measures 66x82.5 cm and is part of a private collection. The painting depicts Louis XIV's army invading Holland during the Franco-Dutch War, marking a significant turning point in the conflict. Van der Meulen himself was present during this campaign and was commissioned by Louis XIV to create a series of pictures depicting the war. In this particular scene, we see King Louis XIV astride his horse, leading his royal army across the river. The landscape surrounding them is lush and vibrant, adding depth to the composition. The soldiers march alongside their monarch with determination and resolve. This image showcases not only military power but also highlights the strength and authority that King Louis XIV possessed as he sought to expand his empire. It serves as a reminder of both France's dominance during this era and its ambition for territorial expansion. With its attention to detail and masterful brushstrokes, this painting by van der Meulen brings history alive before our eyes. It immortalizes an important moment in time when borders were crossed, battles were fought, and kingdoms clashed for supremacy.
