툴루즈 백작 초상
Check out that magnificent wig—it's practically a cloud of curls hovering over the Count of Toulouse in this classic Baroque portrait! Painted by French master Hyacinthe Rigaud, the subject is decked out in gleaming black armor and a flashy blue sash, signaling his status as a legitimized son of Louis XIV and Admiral of France. He’s gesturing with such casual confidence against a stormy sky, as if he’s just finished winning a naval battle (hint: look closely at the tiny ship in the bottom left). It’s the ultimate 18th-century power move.
