Allegory of Louis XIV, Protector of Arts and Sciences (1670-72) “Oil on canvas, 223 x 174 cm” [Château de Versailles, Versailles, France] -- Jean Garnier (French; 1632 - 1705) after Claude Lefebvre (French; 1632 - 1675)
This portrait shows the king dominating the attributes of the arts (music, painting, drawing and the globe) and for all eternity, as is suggested by the immutable nature of his effigy in the medallion.
