Descrizione The Triumph of Pleasure
Prominent components of Louis XIV's propaganda, the arts of spectacle also became sources of a potent resistance to the monarchy in late seventeenth-century France. The author tells the story of how the festive arts deployed an intricate network of subversive satire to undermine the rhetoric of sovereign authority.
