Artist unknownLouis XV: Education of the King 1717 Jean Le Blanc In 1663, King Louis XIV (b. 1638; r. 1643-1715) established the Académie Royale des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres to organize the creation of commemorative medals that celebrated the glorious events of his reign. By 1723, eight years after the kings death, the so-called medallic history of Louis XIV (Histoire métallique du Roy) comprised nine hundred medals including variants. These two exquisite examples were created between the years 1715 to 1723 when Philippe II duc dOrléans ruled France as regent until the child-king, Louis XV (b. 1710; r. 1715-74), could assume the throne as an independent monarch.Louis XV is depicted at seven years of age in the Education of the King of 1717 (L.2019.30.100) and at eight in the Progress of the King of 1718 (L.2019.30.99). Although his delicate, plump features are those of a small boy, his solemn expression and elaborate armor, convey the majesty of the monarchy.
