@ForeverKittyLove He is holding a pochette, also called a kit violin. It is basically a small, slender violin used by dancing masters or for having an instrument on hand if composing. Using it in a performance such as shown here is, however, rather unlucky since it does not have a lot of volume.
moi j admire la musique de lully mais si il avais vraiment cette personalite il vaut moins de respect ( pardon si mon francais ne sont pas parfait) i admire lully s music yet if he really had that character he doesnt deserve that much respect
Non! C'est une faute la ici depuis 6:13. Louis XIV n'a pas fondé le chateau de Versailles. Ca existait deja commu un ptit chateau de chasse depuis 1623. Ses premiers batiments etaient construit par Philippe le Roy sous la reigne de LouisXIII. Son fils laissa seulement agrandir ce chateau a l'étendue des nos jours par son architecte Le Vau.
@ichmalealsobinich You are right. It was his father who founded the castle of Versailles. But it was Louis the 14th who transformed it into the "mother of all chateaus" as we know it today.
@ZoomZip Actually, if you look at the earliest portraits of Louis XIV, it appears he has very light brown hair, arguably red. (with dirt the painting may have darkened his depticed hair color) however, later in life, the king was known to wear numerous wigs of different colors. it is the portrait by hyacinthe riguad where he has a jetblack periwig that we have come to associate with Louis XIV the most. when he was in his early twenties and had youthful luxurious hair it is likely he had red hair
@UNTERKUNST sorry but youre wrong. there is a portrait of Louis XIV by Le Brun in 1661, when Louis was 22/23 and he has jet black hair. only when he was young, like 10, do we see him with darkish brown hair with streaks of light brown, but again no evidence of red hair.
my mother told me that the kings mistress and mother of some of his iligitimate children tried to poision him later in life when he got older and decided he only wanted to be a "one woman man." he ended up sending her to a convant. id be pissed too. , but i wouldnt do that. lol.
@31girl1 You would have no right to be 'pissed' if he put you aside just because he grew tired of your ass and found some one else more suitable to his fickle needs. Why would you blame him, knowing full well that he is a flimsy,dooshy man who made an idol out of mere pussykat? The king should have catapulted the poisonestress into the English Channel, that would have been cool.
@chelseagurl97 He ruled France as no one did before. But before that he was a little boy, when his father died and he became the king pro forma. Cardinal Mazarin too over the business of government until he was full of age. Btw dancing and playing music in front of the court was totally normal around 1700.
I don't necessarily think Louis XIV was responsible for the downfall of the monarchy as much as Louis XV. Louis XV inherited a fine Kingdom with a great colonial empire and a powerful navy, and the nation he bequeathed to Louis XVI was a broke and defeated nation. Louis XV lost France's colonies, neglected it's navy, and when the Austrian Netherlands (Belgium) were finally conquered, a goal since Louis XIV, he stupidly gave it back simply because he was "A King, not a shop keeper".
In his younger years he was probably the best king France ever had and undoubtedly one of the great European monarchs and rulers; an artist, a builder a visionairy and leader like Frederic the Great and Peter the Great.
Unfortunately he became a shadow of himself when he grew older; unable to beat or to rule time and decay, leaving eventually nothing else but hollow pump and wastefullness and thus creating the circumstances that lead the French monarchy to its downfall.
