Bust of Louis XIV, Marble bust in Diana Lounge, Palace of Versailles, France
The bust of Louis XIV is a marble sculpture located in the Diana Lounge at the Palace of Versailles. It depicts the king with detailed craftsmanship and sits among other royal artworks in this gallery space.
The sculpture was created in 1665 during a renowned sculptor's visit to Paris. Its creation came from multiple sittings with the king and required months of skilled work.
The sculpture shows Louis XIV with features that symbolize his rule and reflect the artistic traditions of his time. Such depictions continue to shape how people imagine royal power today.
The sculpture is located in an accessible area of the palace and can be viewed from different angles. The surrounding artworks in the same gallery make it easy to visit the area as a complete experience.
The sculptor introduced a new hairstyle for the king during the work, which later was copied at the French court. This change shows how artistic works could influence the fashion and style of the time.
