EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable bond between Queen Marie de Medicis and her young son, Louis XIII. Engraved by the talented Nicolas de Mathoniere in 1610, this historical piece captures a moment of regal elegance and maternal love. Queen Marie de Medicis, known for her beauty and intelligence, is portrayed with grace and poise. Her royal crown rests upon her head as she holds a sceptre symbolizing her authority. The intricate canopy behind them adds an air of grandeur to the scene. Dressed in luxurious ermine robes, Marie exudes power and sophistication. Beside his mother stands Louis XIII as a child, innocent yet already carrying himself with princely dignity. Despite his tender age, he wears a miniature version of his mother's crown, hinting at the weighty responsibilities that await him in the future. The artist Francois Quesnel masterfully captures their relationship through this engraving. Every detail speaks volumes about their connection - from Marie's gentle gaze towards her son to Louis' adoration for his mother. Preserved within the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this image serves as a testament to both familial love and royal heritage. It reminds us of the rich history that shaped Europe during this era while also celebrating the enduring strength of maternal bonds throughout time.
