The grand siecle. - The reign of Louis XIV., who, at the age of five, succeeded his father in 1643, was to be the longest in history and to bring the French monarchy to its culminating point. The personality of the sovereign and the ideals for which he stood give this period of seventy-two years a unity which is reflected in contemporary art. When the style of Louis XIV. Is stigmatised as bombastic and artificial, fit setting for the periwigged Court of a cruel and pompous libertine, the description contains a little truth and much exaggeration. The Style Louis Quatorze, in its glories and in its.

Third period OF the reign. - Colbert, who died in 1683, had lived to see his policy compromised by the growing prestige and reckless extravagance of Louvois, the brutal minister whom all men hated. The enforcement of unqualified obedience and uniformity entailed the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes and the inhuman persecution of the Huguenots lost France untold numbers of industrious citizens, whose Skill and enterprise went to the enrich ment of her rivals. Louis' aggressive foreign policy drove Europe into a hostile coalition, and involved France in disastrous wars and humiliating treaties. The drain on her resources was enormous, but though the chased Silver furniture of Versailles was sent to the melting pot, no serious attempt was made, amid industrial stagnation and famine, to restrict expenditure on Court fetes and journeys, and Louis could never rest from building or altering what he had built.
His failure to understand the needs of his people, and to lighten or equalise their burdens, brought his government into detestation, while the scandals of his life had given a pernicious example, which the bigotry of his later years could not efface. The beautiful and arrogant Madame de Montespan, in whose honour the most brilliant festivities had been organised, fell into disfavour, and the King's disillusioned old age was saddened by repeated bereavements. After the Queen's death he married Madame de Maintenon, the governess of his illegitimate children, under whose influence the Court became more decent, but lost its gaiety, and the multiplication of religious Observances and the stiffness of official entertainments became a burden to the younger generation of courtiers. One by one the great authors passed away, and the age of the masterpieces of classical perfection was at an end. After 1685 few works of permanent value appeared. And in the exceptions, such as those of Fenelon and La Bruyere, the expression of accepted ideas in polished form has ceased to be the dominant motive. They are no longer under the glamour of the grand siecle they begin to see its seamy Side 5 they criticise and condemn.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolution of the architectural style that flourished in France under the reign of Louis XIV, from 1643 to 1715, and the social, artistic, and intellectual context in which it developed. The author examines the influence of the monarchy, the French Academy, and the broader Baroque and Palladian movements on the formation of this distinctive style. Key figures in this transformation, such as architects François Mansart, Louis Le Vau, and Charles Le Brun, are discussed as their contributions coalesced into a new approach to design and decoration.
