About the Item

Title: Entry of Louis XIV and Maria Theresa into Douai, 1667 - Engraved After Van der Meulen Description: This is an original steel engraving from 1860, created after a painting by Adam Frans van der Meulen, and engraved by Gaïté. It depicts the ceremonial entry of Louis XIV and Queen Maria Theresa into the French city of Douai in 1667 during the War of Devolution. The detailed composition portrays the royal couple in a richly decorated carriage surrounded by courtiers, mounted guards, and an adoring crowd. The background features the fortified city of Douai under dramatic skies, emphasizing its significance as a strategic and cultural hub. The engraving reflects the grandeur and opulence of the French court during the reign of Louis XIV, also known as the Sun King. The attention to detail in the attire, the horses, and the crowd conveys the pomp and pageantry of this historical moment, a vivid reminder of France's power and influence during the 17th century. The engraving is in good condition, with clear lines and well-preserved details, showcasing the skill of the engraver in capturing the essence of Van der Meulen's original work.
