    🇫🇷 Aujourd’hui, à l’occasion de l’anniversaire de la mort de Domenico Theotokopoulos, dit El Greco, nous partageons avec vous l’un de ses tableaux conservé au Louvre : « Saint Louis, roi de France, et un page ». ⚜️
    -
    🎨 Peinte à Tolède entre 1590 et 1597, ce tableau a les caractéristiques stylistiques de l'art de Greco de la fin du XVIe siècle. Saint Louis est représenté avec une expression mélancolique, seule la draperie orangée anime cette figure austère. Il est reconnaissable grâce aux attributs du pouvoir royal : la main de justice, la couronne et le sceptre ornés de fleur de lys. A ses côtés, se trouve un jeune page.

    🌎 Today, on the the occasion of #Greco’s Day, we would like to share with you one of his paintings on display at the Louvre: “Saint Louis, King of France, and a Page”. ⚜️
    -
    🎨 Painted in Toledo between 1590 and 1597, this work bears all the stylistic hallmarks of El Greco's late sixteenth-century work. Saint Louis is depicted with a wistful expression and only the orange drapery brightens up the austere figure. We can recognize him thanks to the attributes of royal power: the hand of justice, the crown and the sceptre with fleur-de-lys’ ornaments.
