EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the regal presence of Henry II, King of France during the 16th century. Henry II ascended to the French throne in 1547 and his reign was marked by a fervent suppression of Protestantism throughout the country. In this portrait, he is depicted wearing traditional Catholic attire, including a hat adorned with intricate details that symbolize his authority as monarch. The engraving showcases Henry II's strong and commanding demeanor, reflecting his role as ruler and defender of Roman Catholicism. His piercing gaze conveys both determination and religious conviction, highlighting his commitment to upholding the principles of Catholic faith within his kingdom. As one examines this image further, it becomes evident that it represents more than just a mere portrait. It serves as a visual testament to an era characterized by religious persecution and political power struggles. The print not only immortalizes Henry II's physical appearance but also encapsulates the complex dynamics between religion, monarchy, and society during this tumultuous period in French history. Created by an unknown artist but preserved through time by The Print Collector organization, this historical artifact offers us a glimpse into the life of one of France's influential sovereigns - Henri II - whose legacy continues to shape our understanding of 16th-century Europe today.
