In his joint capacities of Premier peintre du roi, director of the Gobelins manufactory and rector of the AcadeÌmie royale de peinture et de sculpture, Le Brun exercised a previously unprecedented influence on the production of the visual arts--so much so that some scholars have repeatedly described him as "dictator of the arts in France". "The Sovereign Artist" explores how Le Brun operated in his diverse fields of activities, linking and juxtaposing his portraiture, history painting and pictorial theory with his designs for architecture, tapestries, carpets and furniture. It argues that Le Brun sought to create a repeatable and easily recognizable visual language associated with Louis XIV, in order to translate the king's political claims for absolute power into a visual form. How he did this is discussed through a series of individual case studies ranging from Le Brun's lost equestrian portrait of Louis XIV, and his involvement in the Querelle du coloris at the AcadeÌmie, to his scheme for 93 Savonnerie carpets for the Grande Galerie at the Louvre, his Histoire du roy tapestry series, his decoration of the now destroyed Escalier des Ambassadeurs at Versailles and the dramatic destruction of the Sun King's silver furniture. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 268-283) and index. 600 17 $a Le Brun, Charles, $d 1619-1690. $2 gnd 600 07 $a Ludwig $b XIV., $c Frankreich, KoÌnig, $d 1638-1715. $2 gnd 600 10 $a Le Brun, Charles, $d 1619-1690. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78072045 600 00 $a Louis $b XIV, $c King of France, $d 1638-1715. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80051801 600 00 $a Louis $b XIV, $c King of France, $d 1638-1715 $v Portraits. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85078476 650 7 $a HoÌfische Kunst. $2 gnd 650 0 $a Art, French $y 17th century $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a Kings and rulers in art. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85072438 700 1 $a Le Brun, Christopher, $e writer of foreword. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n87149381 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021022113.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=07583598E55411E7AFB0C42A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
