Bust of Louis XIV (Bernini) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Bust of Louis XIV (Bernini)
The ''Bust of Louis XIV'' is a marble portrait by the Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini. It was created in the year 1665 during Bernini's visit to Paris. This sculptural portrait of Louis XIV of France has been called the "grandest piece of portraiture of the baroque age".〔Rudolf Wittkower, in text〕 The bust is on display at the Versailles Palace, in the Salon de Diane in the King's Grand Apartment. ==Commissioning==
Bernini had been invited to Paris as part of a larger diplomatic exchange between the Papacy and France. The ostensible reason for the visit was to create new designs for the Louvre Palace, but the young king Louis XIV had declared he also desired a portrait bust.〔Filippo Baldinucci, p.45〕 Bernini’s designs for the Louvre did not go down well and were not acted upon; indeed their failure to be accepted was a reflection of the general antagonism between the Italian Bernini and certain members within the French court. However, the portrait bust, which depended upon a more personal relationship between the king and the artist, was completed and largely considered a great success.〔
