This engraving by Jean Baptiste (I) Scotin, created between 1688 and 1733, depicts a series of portraits of King Louis XIV of France at different ages. The portraits are arranged in a circular pattern, creating a visual representation of the king's life and reign. The artwork is a striking example of the French Baroque style, characterized by its intricate details and dramatic composition. It is a testament to the power and influence of the French monarchy during this period. The use of medallions, emblems, and decorative motifs further emphasizes the grandeur and authority of the French court.
