The Month of January / The Louvre, from the series of tapestries
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the opulent world of Louis XIV. This exquisite artwork, produced in the renowned Gobelins Workshop, showcases the grandeur and luxury associated with the French court during the 17th century. In this scene, we witness King Louis XIV himself attending an opera at his beloved Louvre palace. Surrounded by lush greenery and magnificent trees adorned with garlands and flowers, he sits on a sumptuous carpeted platform embellished with intricate designs. His courtiers and spectators are captivated by both the performance and their majestic surroundings. The tapestry's attention to detail is remarkable – from the elegant Ionic columns framing the stage to exotic animals like monkeys, cranes, ostriches, and egrets adding an air of intrigue. A beautiful cartouche featuring Aquarius symbolizes January as it represents water-bearing zodiac sign. This masterpiece not only celebrates artistry but also intertwines elements of botany and natural history through depictions of various fruits such as oranges adorning nearby tables. It serves as a testament to Louis XIV's patronage of science and his passion for creating a harmonious blend between nature and culture within his royal residences. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded of France's rich artistic heritage while being transported into a world where beauty knows no bounds.
