Painting Description
"The Marriage of the Duc de Bourgogne to Marie-Adélaïde of Savoy on 7 December 1697, in the Presence of King Louis XIV; and the Presentation of the Newborn Louis, Duc de Bourgogne, to His Grandfather King Louis XIV" is a historical painting by Franz Napoleon Heigel, a notable artist whose works often reflect significant events in European aristocracy and royalty. This particular painting captures two pivotal moments in the history of the French monarchy.
The first scene depicted in the painting is the marriage of Louis, Duke of Burgundy, who was the eldest son of Louis, Dauphin of France, and thus the grandson of King Louis XIV, to Princess Marie-Adélaïde of Savoy. This union, which took place on December 7, 1697, was of great political significance as it strengthened the ties between France and the Duchy of Savoy, an important ally in the complex European power dynamics of the time.
The second moment portrayed is the presentation of the couple's newborn son, also named Louis, Duke of Burgundy, to his great-grandfather, King Louis XIV. This event symbolizes the continuation of the Bourbon dynasty, with the young duke being third in line to the throne at the time of his birth. The presentation underscores the importance of succession and the perpetuation of royal lineage, themes that were central to the legitimacy and stability of the monarchy.
Heigel's painting is a rich tableau that not only captures the grandeur and ceremony of the French court but also serves as a visual documentation of the alliances and hereditary succession that were crucial to the politics of the era. The artwork is imbued with the opulence and formality characteristic of the period, offering viewers a glimpse into the splendor of the Sun King's reign.
As an artist, Franz Napoleon Heigel was known for his attention to detail and his ability to convey the intricate relationships and hierarchies within the royal families of Europe. His work remains an important source for historians and art enthusiasts alike, providing insight into the cultural and political landscape of the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
