Paris Bonfire Honors King Lewis and War Feats
A 1693 Paris bonfire before the Town House, ordered by the Princess of Merchants and Sheriffs, depicted the taking of Heidelberg and Roses and the rise of French power. The piece extols Lewis le Grand as a virtuous ruler with two faces, blending youthful vigor and aged prudence, and lauds his justice and generosity.
