Original Description
The State Portrait of Louis XV (1715) by Hyacinthe Rigaud exudes grandeur and youthful regality, capturing the 5-year-old monarch in opulent Baroque splendor. Dressed in royal blue velvet adorned with gold fleurs-de-lis, the child king stands confidently beside his ermine-lined coronation robe, his delicate hand resting on a scepter—an artful juxtaposition of innocence and authority. Rigaud, the preeminent royal portraitist of France, employs lush textures, dramatic drapery, and a warm, gilded palette to create a sense of divine majesty. This work continues his iconic formula established with the 1701 portrait of Louis XIV, blending psychological presence with state propaganda. As one of the last great portraits d’apparat before Rococo’s rise, it remains pivotal for understanding the transition from absolute monarchy’s rigid iconography to the more playful elegance of the 18th century.
For contemporary spaces, this masterpiece commands attention best in formal settings—consider a carved gold-leaf frame in a study or boardroom to echo its regal tones. The rich blues and creams harmonize beautifully with mahogany furniture or neutral walls, while its vertical 277x184cm dimensions suit floor-to-ceiling paneling or above a mantel. In modern interiors, balance its opulence with minimalist lines; pair with monochrome abstract art to let Rigaud’s craftsmanship shine. For offices, scale down with a high-quality giclée print behind a desk to project authority without overwhelming. The portrait’s ceremonial gravity makes it ideal for spaces where tradition and power intersect—avoid overcrowding with other decorative elements to preserve its stately impact.
