Understanding Louis in the context of his era, one of great strides for French artists, litterateurs, and architects, Dunlop presents the king as an inspirer, an enabler, and a patron of his country's best and brightest minds.

Ironically, Louis' mixed legacy developed a culture that would become the envy of the world.
