The Art of Alexandre Roslin

 Roslin was a Swedish artist who marvelously painted Louis XVI, capturing the King's humor and intelligence as never before. Share

Yes, I LOVE this painting! Thanks! I don't like the way so many portraits make him look like an idiot, because that's certainly not the way he comes across in his own words and writings.

Another thing- I like this painting because Louis' expression is kind, but not overly sweetened, as in some other representations.
