空气

Various artists/makers

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 531

此图中的路易十四被描绘为朱庇特，同时也是空气的化身，他以老鹰为坐骑，一手持闪电，一手持盾牌，身边环绕着鸟禽、蝴蝶、号角和其他管乐器。精巧的图案设计被认为出自夏尔·勒·布朗之手，是以斜向平行针法刺成的，银线和镀金银线绣出箭尾形和螺旋形纹样，形成复杂精细的背景。这幅作品是一套八幅挂毯之一（其中四件在大都会博物馆），可能是为国王的情妇蒙提斯班女侯爵而作。它们以四大元素和四季为主题，以路易十四、女侯爵或他们的某个小孩作为中心人物。这幅挂毯可能是在巴黎的圣约瑟–德拉普罗维登斯女修道院里绣成的。
