Portret van Lodewijk XIII 1604 - 1670

This engraving, titled "Portret van Lodewijk XIII," was created by Crispijn van de Passe (II) between 1604 and 1670. It depicts Louis XIII, the King of France, in an oval frame adorned with elaborate Baroque ornamentation. The inscription around the frame highlights Louis XIII's royal lineage and titles: "Christianissimus Ludovicus Borbonius Eius Nominis XIII Rex Franciae et Nauarrae" (Most Christian Louis of Bourbon, the thirteenth of his name, King of France and Navarre). Van de Passe's meticulous etching technique captures the detail of Louis XIII's attire and features, contributing to the overall sense of regal authority and power conveyed in the portrait. The image can be found in the Rijksmuseum, Netherlands.
