Roy Soleil (Le)

Le Carre Hermes Paris >> Automne - Hiver 1994 / 95

Here is Louis XIV on horseback, sovereign of celestial magnificence. A radiant monarch, a luminary among all luminaries who diffuse the golden light of symbolism. It is a glorious meeting, with Phoebus in his chariot rivaling all the gods of India and Egypt in brilliance, while Chen-Yi, mythical archer of Old China, offended by the sight of so many suns, bends his bow to make sure that only one remains. Watch out, he is a top marksman.
