The Fabrication of Louis XIV | Peter Burke

1 post | 1 read | 1 to read

Louis XIV was man like any other, but the money and attention lavished on his public image by the French government transformed him into a godlike figure. This book gives an account of contemporary representations of Louis XIV and shows how the making of the royal image illuminates the relationship between art and power.

The Fabrication of Louis XIV | Peter Burke

pick

This book really helped shaped the way I understand Louis XIV and his propaganda machine in the 17th century. It's organized around the metaphor of time of day. From the sunrise (early reign) to sunset (death). The last chapter is what made me want to spend so much of my life exploring the underbelly of the reign. It was not at all what the pomp, gild, and glory made it out to be. Excellent book. Http://holly-tucker.com
