Résumé
R. Faille, Louis the fourtheenth in front of Cambrai, magnified by his contemporary artists. In his article, R. Faille has chosen to sum up history of iconography concerning the siege of Cambrai by Louis XIV in 1677. This study had nev ;r been made and the research it involved is yet more complete. He examined the memoirs from this period, expecially the unpublished writtings from the Count of Lisliers, he surveyed the works in which informations about the tapestry "feinte" of Versailles or the unwoven piece on the king's history ordered from Van der Meulen were kept. He carefully studied not only painting and drawing (identifying those from Sébastien Le Clerc in the Louvre) but also print and medals as well. Thus, the author demonstrates that by focussing the study of a single point of Louis XIV's reign the glory of which artists where charged to convey to the following generations, a large and clear synthèse of art for the whole period could be achieved.
