EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the history of France in toys, specifically depicting the tragic death of King Henry II. On June 30,1559, during the wedding day of his daughter Elisabeth to Philip II of Spain, King Henry II engaged in a fateful battle against Captain Gabriel de Montgomery. In an unfortunate turn of events, Montgomery wounded the king with a spear directly into his eye at Paris' Place des Vosges. The illustration is part of "Joujoux à l'histoire: la France staged with les Joujoux de deux petits Français" created by Job (Jacques-Marie Gaston Onfray and Bréville) in 1908. This piece offers a unique perspective on historical events by presenting them through the lens of children's toys. The artist masterfully brings this poignant moment to life through intricate details and vivid colors. The composition evokes both admiration for its artistic merit and sorrow for the tragedy it depicts. The image serves as a reminder that even within the realm of playthings, history can be portrayed with great depth and emotion. This particular print is part of a private collection and showcases Stefano Bianchetti's talent in capturing fine art photography. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows viewers to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its aesthetic beauty.
