EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artistry of Andre Boulle and the grandeur of King Louis XIV's reign. The focal point is a magnificent cabinet adorned with intricate details, featuring the figure of King Louis XIV himself in Hercules Gaulois. Standing at an impressive height of 1.87 meters, this masterpiece resides in the Musee Du Louvre in Paris. The craftsmanship displayed by Andre Boulle is truly remarkable. His furniture design from around 1700 reflects his mastery of combining different materials such as wood, metal, and tortoiseshell to create a harmonious and opulent piece. Every inch of this cabinet exudes elegance and sophistication. King Louis XIV, known as the Sun King, ruled France from 1638 to 1715 with absolute power. This regal depiction of him as Hercules Gaulois symbolizes his strength and authority during his reign. The attention to detail in capturing his likeness demonstrates the importance placed on royal representation during that era. Captured by Photo Josse, this print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic beauty but also the historical significance behind this extraordinary piece of French art history. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage preserved within museums like Musee Du Louvre in Paris.
