How did Absolutism shape the Court at Versailles under King Louis XIV? Develop your answer in detail

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Absolutism in the court of King Louis XIV contributed to his monarchical supremacy, particularly over other powerful institutions in France. It equally served to maintain his control over the class of noble elites, as they all resided in court and he could in this way continually observe their activities. Moreover, Louis XIV's aspect of supremacy and power within France gave him a formidable reputation and position throughout Europe.

Versailles itself became an emblem of royal grandeur. The sumptuosity, and splendour of the palace came to represent the elevation of the king's status. The more grand it appeared to the populace and in comparison to other royal courts, the more powerful and eminent Louis XIV would appear as a monarch. The magnificence of the place, a result of his absolutism, also strengthened his absolutism in this regard.

The propaganda necessitated by absolutism promoted an embellished image of the monarch, through art and culture. Through art, King Louis XIV was systematically portrayed as deific and handsome. This facilitated his reign in absolute monarchy.
