Adam Frans Van der Meulen (1632-1690) is the Flemish painter who was summoned to Paris to enter the service of Louis XIV to document the King's military victories. His paintings were sent across the empire as to promote the esteem of the French king. Van der Meulen was instrumental in building the image of Louis XIV as the 'Sun King'. Propaganda and war in the 17th century.
In this painting of the battle against the Spanish at the Bruges Canal on 31 August 1667, Louis XIV was chagrined to find that he had arrived too late to play an active part in the victory. He is depicted galloping towards the battle which is raging in the distance. The king is shown surrounded by his generals: Créqui and Condé on the right and Bellefonds, with his back to the viewer, on the left.
Other versions of the composition are in the Louvre (no. 1483), the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Marseille and the Musée de Narbonne.
