Louis XIII Crowned by Victory is a 1635 oil on canvas painting by Philippe de Champaigne.[1][2] Probably commissioned by Cardinal Richelieu, it shows Louis XIII, King of France, crowned by a personification of Victory to mark his forces' victory in the Siege of La Rochelle. Since 1796 it has been in Louvre Museum.[3][4]
