About the piece

Attributed to Philippe de Champaigne, this majestic oil painting portrays the poet Vincent Voiture as King Louis IX of France. The work showcases extraordinary textural contrast, from the glistening gems of the crown to the soft ermine fur and the stark thorns, all set against a deep, dramatic background that emphasizes the sitter's presence.
