EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the central detail of "The Construction of Les Invalides in 1670" from "The History of the King" a remarkable tapestry created by the French School in the 17th century. The image, now housed at Mobilier National in Paris, France, showcases the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into this historical masterpiece. In this section of the tapestry, we are presented with a glimpse into an era when architecture was not only functional but also symbolic. The construction site is bustling with activity as workers laboriously build Les Invalides, a hospital specifically designed for war veterans. This architectural marvel stands tall as a testament to victory and resilience. One cannot help but notice King Louis XIV himself present at the site, his regal wig adding an air of grandeur to the scene. As one of history's most influential monarchs, Louis XIV played a pivotal role in shaping both French society and its architectural landscape. Designed by Jules Hardouin-Mansart and brought to life through Adam Frans Van der Meulen's artistic vision and Charles Le Brun's guidance, Les Invalides represents more than just bricks and mortar; it embodies an entire era defined by opulence and power. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how artistry intertwined with history can create something truly extraordinary.
