In Louis XIV, how does Hyacinthe Rigaud depict the king and his power?
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
1. The king, who wears a rich costume, is framed by a lavish, billowing curtain.
2. He wears a blue robe of state trimmed with gold fleurs-de-lis and lined with white ermine.
3. He wears high-heeled shoes to show off his calves and compensate for his shortness.
4. Despite his pompous pose and magnificent surroundings, the directness of the king's gaze and the frankness of his aging face make him appear surprisingly human.
