  Louis XIV - the 'Sun King' - casts a shadow over the history of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Europe. This geographical coverage demonstrates how images of Louis XIV were moulded by the polemical needs of people far from Versailles, and distorted from any French originals by political and cultural circumstances of diverse nations.
