Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 21.7 × 15 in print therefore arrives as 24 × 17.4 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 59.1 × 40.9 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Hyacinthe Rigaud's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 277 × 194 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in Louvre Museum, Paris, France. Full size guide.

About the Painting

Right, so "Portrait of Louis XIV of France" - it's a proper spectacle, isn't it? Rigaud really went all out here, giving us the Sun King in all his regal pomp. The whole canvas just screams opulence.

Louis is front and center, striking quite the pose. He's decked out in these lavish royal robes - a rich blue adorned with golden fleurs-de-lis, topped off with an enormous ermine-trimmed cloak. It's not subtle, but then again, subtlety wasn't really Louis's thing, was it?

The color palette is a feast for the eyes. Deep reds and golds dominate, creating this warm, almost glowing atmosphere around the monarch. Rigaud's technique is impeccable - you can practically feel the softness of the ermine and the weight of all that silk and brocade.

What really gets me is how Rigaud's composed the whole thing. Louis is positioned slightly to the left, his body angled just so. It creates this sense of movement, like he might stride right off the canvas at any moment. And those curtains in the background? They're not just decorative - they frame the king perfectly, drawing our eye right to him.

There's an interesting interplay of textures going on too. The smoothness of Louis's face contrasts beautifully with the intricate detailing on his robes and the plush fabrics surrounding him. It's a masterclass in Baroque portraiture - grand, theatrical, and utterly captivating.
