Louis XIV & The French Baroque Power, Art, and Absolute Rule

"I’m rich and powerful. You’re not." This might as well be the motto of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who transformed France into the center of Baroque grandeur and absolutism.

From regal portraits to monumental architecture, every artistic decision during his reign served one purpose: glorifying his rule.
