This golden cherub, originally a stone sculpture in the Palace of Fontainebleau—where the Sun King, Louis XIV, often hunted—tells a tale steeped in regal charm and playful whimsy. The sculpture represents a story from a royal dinner party held after one of the King's hunts. In this enchanting scene, cherubs mischievously attempt to steal the fruits prepared for the Sun King—a delightful metaphor for the fruits of victory.

When Louis XIV returned to the palace after a day of hunting, the grand halls came alive with light as countless candles illuminated the night. The murals and ornaments painted a divine narrative, transforming the space into a wonderland devoid of darkness or cold, filled instead with holiness and warmth. Among this splendor, the angel playfully stealing the king’s fruits stood as a symbol of innocence and joy, evoking a nostalgic connection to the gilded past.

Though the original sculpture may no longer reside in the refurbished palace today, its essence lingers in the collective memory. This painting captures the glorious atmosphere of the royal court in Louis XIV's era, reimagining the playful angel in all its golden brilliance. It is a tribute to the beauty of history, brought to life by the artist’s vision and inspired by fragments of a bygone age.
