The Tent of Darius Explain’d, or, The Queens of Persia at the Feet of Alexander
Shortly after the completion of Le Brun’s painting, the writer and critic André Félibien published an essay explaining its artistic and intellectual qualities, presented as a letter to Louis XIV. Forty years later the text was adapted for English readers in this bilingual edition, with all references to the king removed.
