Sun King Louis-XIV Statue Details Description:
Why was Louis XIV called the Sun King?
Louis XIV is known as the “Sun King” because he saw himself as the center of the country, symbolizing power and radiance. He strengthened the absolute monarchy by promoting the concept of ‘I am the country’ and closely linked France’s glory to his image. Under his rule, France experienced a prosperous “Sun King era”, in which Louis XIV demonstrated strong leadership in various fields such as art, culture, architecture, and military. He promoted the luxury of court culture and the development of court art, especially in the construction of the Palace of Versailles, where he fully embodied his symbolism. Just as the sun is the center of all celestial bodies, Louis XIV also regarded himself as the center of the country, determining everything in France. In the Sun King Louis-XIV statue, Louis XIV stands solemnly, with his head symbolizing the radiance of the sun. His posture is solemn and confident, showcasing his extraordinary temperament as an absolute monarch.
