EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Philippe I, the Duke of Orleans, in his regal portrayal as the King of Persia during the Carousel given by Louis XIV. The event took place on 5th June 1662 in front of the magnificent Tuileries Palace in France. In this colored engraving by Silvestre, Israel, the Younger, we see Philippe I adorned with a plumed hat and dressed in opulent gold brocade attire. Mounted on a majestic horse, he exudes an air of authority and grandeur as he leads a procession of soldiers through an elaborate spectacle. The carrousel de 1662 was not only a display of horsemanship but also served as entertainment for the court and spectators alike. Philippe I's equestrian skills are showcased here with finesse and grace. As brother to Louis XIV, Philippe I played an important role within French royalty. This portrait highlights his ornate presence and noble stature while capturing his commanding presence as the King of Persia. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, this image transports us back to a time when pageantry reigned supreme. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. This remarkable photograph is part of Fine Art Finder's collection from Bibliotheque Municipale in Versailles, France. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers even today.
