EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Louis of France, the Duke of Burgundy, in all his regal splendor. Painted by Hyacinthe Rigaud in 1697, this oil on canvas masterpiece showcases the young duke at just fifteen years old. Standing three-quarter length and adorned in a resplendent sash and armor, he exudes an air of confidence beyond his years. Louis gazes directly at the viewer with piercing blue eyes that hint at both wisdom and curiosity. In one hand, he holds a telescope, symbolizing his thirst for knowledge and exploration. This prop serves as a reminder that despite his tender age, Louis is destined to become a great leader. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident throughout the painting - from the intricate patterns on Louis' clothing to the delicate brushstrokes capturing every strand of his golden hair. Rigaud masterfully combines vibrant colors with subtle shading techniques to bring this portrait to life. Displayed proudly within Galleria Sabauda in Turin, Italy, this artwork stands as a testament to French royalty during the late 17th century. It immortalizes not only Louis' physical appearance but also hints at his potential impact on history as son of the Grand Dauphin. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the grace and power embodied by Louis of France – a young boy poised for greatness amidst an era filled with political intrigue and cultural refinement.
