EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Peter Paul Rubens' masterpiece, "The Medici Cycle: Henri IV leaving for the war in Germany, 20th March 1610" from 1621-1625. The artwork depicts a significant moment in history when King Henri IV of France departs for battle and entrusts the governance of his kingdom to his wife, Marie de Medici. Little did they know that tragedy would strike shortly after Henry's departure. Within hours of his departure, Henry IV was assassinated in 1610. This unexpected turn of events thrust Marie de Medici into the role of regent, as she took charge of ruling the country during her son's minority. The painting captures both the anticipation and uncertainty surrounding this pivotal moment. Rubens skillfully portrays the emotions through vibrant colors and intricate details. The composition highlights not only the royal couple but also their entourage and subjects bidding farewell to their beloved king. It is a testament to Rubens' talent that he can convey such complex historical narratives with grace and beauty. Now housed within the prestigious Louvre Museum in Paris, France, this print serves as a reminder of an era marked by political intrigue and power struggles. It immortalizes two influential figures - King Henri IV and Queen Marie de Medici - whose lives were forever changed on that fateful day in March 1610.
