''Portrait of King Louis XIV'' is a monumental full-length portrait painting by the French Baroque artist Hyacinthe Rigaud, created in 1701. Commissioned by Louis XIV himself, the painting is renowned for epitomizing the splendor of the Sun King's court and symbolizing the absolute power of the Bourbon monarchy during the height of its glory. The portrait depicts the 63-year-old king in his coronation robes, standing beside a draped throne, exuding an air of regal authority and grandeur.

Rigaud, who was a leading portraitist in Paris at the time, was highly skilled at capturing the likeness and the pomp of the aristocracy, and this portrait is considered one of his masterpieces. The painting is famous for its meticulous detail, from the intricate embroidery of the king's robes to the sumptuous textures of the fabrics. The king's confident pose, with one hand on his hip and the other resting on a command baton, is emblematic of his reign as a powerful and absolute monarch.

Measuring approximately 9 feet by 6 feet (275 cm × 190 cm), the portrait was originally intended as a gift for Louis XIV's grandson, Philip V of Spain. However, the king was so pleased with Rigaud's work that he kept the original and sent a copy to Spain. The painting has since become an iconic image of Louis XIV and is often used to represent the era of his rule, known as the "Grand Siècle" (Great Century).

Today, the ''Portrait of King Louis XIV'' by Hyacinthe Rigaud is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be celebrated as a masterpiece of French portraiture and a symbol of royal absolutism. Its influence extends beyond the realm of art, as it has also played a significant role in shaping the historical image of Louis XIV and the concept of the divine right of kings.
