EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as Henri II, the renowned ruler of France from 1519 to 1559, receives Jean de Tavanes into his prestigious Order. Engraved by Roger in 1788 and beautifully colored by Sergent-Marceau, this artwork showcases the grandeur and elegance of the French court during the 16th century. In this scene, we witness a soldier adorned in magnificent armor being knighted by King Henri II himself. The soldier's unwavering loyalty and bravery have earned him this esteemed honor, symbolizing his commitment to serve both king and country. The tent behind them serves as a reminder of the military campaigns that shaped their era. The image exudes an air of chivalry and royalty, with every detail meticulously captured by Antoine Louis Francois Sergent-Marceau. From the intricate engravings on their armor to the regal attire worn by all present, it is evident that this event was steeped in tradition and ceremony. Through this print, we are transported back to a time when knighthood held great significance within society. It reminds us of an age where valor was celebrated alongside power and authority. This remarkable piece from The Stapleton Collection allows us to appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its historical importance as it immortalizes one man's induction into an order that represented honor, courage, and dedication to duty.
