Original Description
The captivating portrait Louis XIV enfant et son frere Philippe de France, duc d'Anjou by Charles Beaubrun transports viewers to the lavish world of 17th-century French royalty. Painted circa 1645-1650, this double portrait masterfully depicts the young Sun King aged about seven alongside his younger brother Philippe in sumptuous Baroque attire, their velvet and lace garments shimmering with gold embroidery against a deep crimson drapery. The Beaubrun cousins, known for their elegant court portraiture, employ soft yet precise brushwork characteristic of French aristocratic painting during Louis XIII's reign, creating a striking interplay of youthful innocence and regal bearing. As an important early depiction of Europe's most legendary monarch, this work occupies a special place in art history - preserving the royal brothers' sibling dynamic before Philippe famously became "Monsieur" at Louis's glittering court. The composition's theatrical lighting and rich textures exemplify the transitional style between Renaissance formality and Baroque grandeur.
When displaying this masterpiece in contemporary spaces, consider honoring its royal provenance while adapting to modern aesthetics. A gold-leaf frame would complement the painting's warm tones ideally above a fireplace mantle or as a focal point in a formal study. The rich crimson and navy hues in the boys' costumes pair beautifully with jewel-toned velvet upholstery or lacquered ebony furniture. For offices, hang the artwork (preferably as a high-quality reproduction sized between 24"x36" to 36"x48") opposite windows to prevent glare on its dark background while allowing natural light to accentuate the metallic details. In minimalist interiors, let the portrait command attention against neutral walls alongside gilded Louis XIV-style console tables or bergère chairs. The painting's vertical format suits narrow walls in entryways or between bookshelves, where its historical gravitas can elevate the entire space without overwhelming.
