EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 16th century, capturing a clandestine tryst between Henri IV, King of France, and his mistress Gabrielle d'Estrees. The French School's exquisite engraving skillfully portrays the love-struck couple in a secluded woodland setting. In this enchanting scene, Henri IV is depicted as a powerful ruler who has momentarily shed his royal persona to kneel before his beloved Gabrielle. Their passionate connection is palpable as they embrace amidst the beauty of nature's embrace. The dense forest surrounding them adds an air of secrecy and intimacy to their encounter. The image beautifully encapsulates the complexities of courtly love during the Renaissance period. Despite being married to another woman, Henri IV found solace and affection in Gabrielle's arms. Their relationship became legendary for its intensity and influence on both personal and political matters. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet, we are transported into a world where royalty surrenders to desire against all odds. This snapshot from history reminds us that even those in positions of power are not immune to matters of the heart. Bridgeman Images has once again curated an exceptional piece that captures our imagination while preserving a significant moment in time for generations to appreciate.
