EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the betrothal between Ottaviano Farnese and Margaret of Parma, in the presence of Henri II of France. Created by Federico Zuccaro, this pen and ink drawing showcases his impeccable attention to detail and mastery of form. The composition depicts a grand ceremony where two noble families unite through marriage. Ottaviano Farnese, the Duke of Parma and Piacenza, stands tall in his regal attire next to Margaret, Duchess of Parma and Governor of the Netherlands. The couple exudes elegance as they exchange vows under a magnificent canopy. Henri II, King of France during that time period, graces the scene with his royal presence. His figure adds an air of importance to this significant event. This artwork was originally intended as a preparatory drawing for a fresco in Palazzo Farnese at Caprarola. Zuccaro's meticulous sketch beautifully captures every intricate detail from the costumes worn by each member present at this occasion to their mannerisms and expressions. The artist's use of Italian mannerism style is evident in the elongated figures and graceful poses. This image not only provides us with a glimpse into historical events but also serves as a testament to aristocratic society during that era. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in tradition while appreciating the artistry behind such important milestones in history.
