Louis XIV
by PUGET, Pierre, Marble medallion, diameter: 66 cm
Puget worked on a portrait of the king since 1659. This medallion is related to the activities in the second half of the 1680s connected with the equestrian statue intended by the City of Marseille to erect on Place Royale.
This medallion is clearly influenced by Antoine Coysevox’s bust of Louis XIV ordered in 1679.
