About the piece
Created in 1762 by Charles-Amédée-Philippe van Loo, this sophisticated work commemorates the Family Pact between the Bourbon houses. The composition features idealized figures representing national virtues and alliances, rendered with the luminous palette and fluid brushwork characteristic of the French Rococo. Every element, from the central shield to the various symbolic attributes scattered throughout, reflects the grand tradition of European allegorical painting.
