EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting the War of Religion under the Reign of Henri IV. The scene showcases three prominent figures: Jean Lemaitre, a lawyer; Charles de Normandy, Duke of Mayenne; and Pierre de Saint Priest d'Epinac, Archbishop of Lyon. Set in 1589 at the Parlement de Paris, this engraving from "L'histoire de France racontée à mes grandenfants" by Francois Guizot (1872-1876) offers a glimpse into a crucial encounter during this tumultuous time. The composition exudes an air of tension as these influential individuals gather for what appears to be a meal. The image not only highlights the communication between different factions but also underscores the role played by clergy and lawyers in shaping religious order and governance. It serves as a reminder that religion often intertwines with politics and power struggles. Stefano Bianchetti's masterful execution brings out every intricate detail, allowing us to immerse ourselves in this historical moment. Through his artistry, we are transported back to 16th-century France where Catholicism reigned supreme amidst conflicts between various religious groups. This print is more than just an artistic representation; it is an invitation to explore the complexities of French history and its impact on society today. It serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and food for thought about how religion has shaped our world throughout centuries past.
