EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print showcases the regal and romantic connection between King Henri II and Diane de Poitiers. The image, created by an anonymous European School artist in the 19th century, transports us back to a time of medieval elegance and courtly love. In this enchanting portrayal, we witness the undeniable chemistry between the French monarch and his beloved mistress. Their gaze is locked in a tender exchange, conveying both passion and loyalty. As King Henri II stands tall with his armor-clad figure, Diane de Poitiers exudes grace and beauty in her elegant attire. The historical significance of this artwork cannot be overstated. It serves as a reminder of famous mistresses throughout history who held immense influence over powerful men. Just like Aspasia did for Pericles in ancient Athens or Cleopatra for Pharaohs in Egypt, Diane de Poitiers played a pivotal role in shaping King Henri II's reign. This print not only captures the essence of their relationship but also provides insight into the cultural context of Europe during that era. It evokes images of ancient Rome with its references to Emperor Augustus and Livia while highlighting France's rich medieval heritage. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported to a world where love knows no boundaries – where kings defy convention for their chosen queens.
