More Information
Style:
Louis XIV, known as the "Sun King," reigned over the kingdom of France from 1643 to 1715. He was one of the most influential monarchs in European history, transforming the monarchy and leaving a lasting legacy in art, culture, and architecture.
Indissociable from the absolute power of Louis XIV, French classicism was invented under his reign to enhance his glory. Described as the ‘grand style’, it imposed simple lines based on a quest for balance and sobriety; it was the antithesis of the Baroque style that prevailed elsewhere in Europe.
