Description

Charles Le Brun: The Sovereign Artist This monograph explores the artistic production of Charles Le Brun, Louis XIV's most prolific and powerful artist. Le Brun's influence on the visual arts in France was unprecedented, and he exercised control over various fields, including painting, architecture, and decorative arts. The book examines how Le Brun linked his different artistic pursuits, creating a recognizable visual language associated with Louis XIV. Through individual case studies, the book discusses Le Brun's involvement in various projects, such as the design of carpets, tapestries, and furniture, as well as his work on the Histoire du roy tapestry series and the decoration of the Escalier des Ambassadeurs at Versailles. The author sheds light on Le Brun's role in shaping the visual identity of the French monarchy. By examining Le Brun's artistic production, the book provides insight into the visual language of absolute power and the influence of the monarch on the arts.
