GUISE ASSASSINATIONS, 1588 - A Glimpse into a Tragic Chapter of French History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the dramatic events that unfolded at the Chteau de Blois on 23-24 December 1588. The etching and line engraving, dating back to the 18th century, vividly portrays the assassinations of Henri I, Duke of Guise, and his brother Louis II, Cardinal of Guise. In this historic moment frozen in time, we witness a scene filled with tension and intrigue. The exterior of the chateau sets the stage for this tragic event as royal figures gather to witness an act that would forever change France's political landscape. Amidst a crowd of spectators dressed in fashionable attire from that era, a lone rider draped in a cape commands attention. With sword drawn high above his head, he strikes down these noble men who had once held great power within Catholic circles during the Reformation period. The image reveals other key elements such as bodyguards standing watchfully by their king's side and trumpeters announcing this shocking turn of events. In contrast to all this chaos stands an elegant columned colonnade leading towards a terrace where musicians play on undisturbed. As we delve deeper into history through this remarkable artwork from The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, it serves as both a reminder and testament to human ambition and betrayal. It is through prints like these that we can explore significant moments in our
