EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Louis XIV: 'I almost waited' (1700)" captures a moment of grandeur and wit in the court of Versailles. Illustrated by Job, pseudonym for Onfray de Breville, Jacques, this 1896 artwork brings to life the legendary French monarch, Louis XIV. In this scene, we find Louis XIV standing before his opulent carriages at Versailles. With impeccable timing, his entourage has arrived just on time. However, with a mischievous glint in his eye and a playful smirk on his face, the Sun King declares with mock impatience: "I almost waited". This illustration beautifully encapsulates the essence of Louis XIV's reign - one characterized by extravagance and absolute power. Known as the epitome of royal fashion and style during the 18th century, he is depicted here wearing regal attire that reflects both his authority and taste. The image also offers us a glimpse into the world of French monarchy during this period. The vibrant colors evoke an atmosphere of splendor within Versailles Palace while showcasing the intricate details of courtly life. Through this artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness a momentary glimpse into history - where kings ruled with flair and wit amidst their lavish surroundings.
