EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this color lithograph, we are transported back to the 17th century, witnessing a pivotal moment in French history. The image depicts the Duke of Sully, Maximilien de Bethune, fulfilling his role as King Henry IV's Superintendent of Finances. As a trusted statesman and advisor to the king, he is seen on horseback collecting taxes from various provinces. The scene is bustling with activity as wagons loaded with money make their way towards Sully. The meticulous attention to detail showcases the artist's skill in capturing not only the historical accuracy but also the grandeur and opulence associated with such an important task. Sully himself cuts an impressive figure atop his majestic steed, exuding authority and determination. His presence commands respect as he oversees every aspect of taxation collection. This print serves as an illustration for "Histoire de France" by A. Aymard and features artwork by J and L Beuzon. It offers us a glimpse into a time when finance played a crucial role in shaping nations. As we admire this piece, we are reminded of how history repeats itself; even today, governments rely on taxation systems to fund their operations. This timeless image invites us to reflect on the enduring importance of financial management throughout centuries past and present.
