What are good qualities of Louis XIV?

The early personal reign of Louis was highly successful in both internal and foreign affairs. Louis was a discriminating patron of the great literary and artistic figures of France's classical age, including: Jean Baptiste Moliere, Charles Le Brun, Louis Le Vau, Jules Mansart, and Jean Baptiste Lully. He established or developed in rapid succession academies for painting and sculpture, inscriptions, science, French artists at Rome, followed by the Paris Observatory and the academies of architecture and music. The literary Academie Francaise also came under formal royal control during this time.
