EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the meeting of two powerful figures in European history: Henry IV, King of France, and Henry of Lorraine, Duke of Mayenne and Aiguillon. The image showcases their regal presence and commanding stature. Henry IV, known as "Good King Henry" ruled France from 1589 until his assassination in 1610. He was a popular monarch who sought to bring stability to a divided country torn apart by religious conflicts. His reign marked a period of peace and prosperity for France. Opposite him stands Henry of Lorraine, Duke of Mayenne and Aiguillon. As a prominent nobleman during the late 16th century, he played a significant role in the French Wars of Religion. Although initially aligned with Catholic factions against Protestant forces led by Henry IV, he eventually reconciled with the king. The composition exudes an air of tension between these two historical figures whose paths crossed amidst political turmoil. Their expressions reveal both suspicion and curiosity as they engage in this momentous encounter. Captured by an unknown artist in the 19th century using chromolithography techniques, this print is now part of a private collection. It serves as a reminder not only of these influential individuals but also highlights the artistic skill employed to immortalize them through time. Stefano Bianchetti's careful restoration ensures that this piece remains accessible for all to appreciate its historical significance while respecting copyright laws surrounding its use.
