Description

Explore a fresh interpretation of the objects and images commissioned by Louis XIV to document his reign for posterity. This scholarly work examines how the Sun King's image-makers used contemporary antiquarian methods to predict how future historians would view their material culture. By creating works of art intended to serve as artifacts for a future time, these creators shaped the way history is recorded and understood. This book looks at the specific pictorial developments driven by the need for historical evidence. It highlights the central role of medals and coin-like items in this process, revealing how visual history was constructed through material remains. For students and researchers of art history and the French monarchy, this text provides a detailed look at the intentional creation of a legacy through art and artifacts.
