EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical event - the Meeting of Henry VIII and Francis I at The Field of Cloth of Gold in 1520. The image showcases a portion of the central bas-relief from a series representing the Camp du Drap d Or, located in the courtyard of the Hotel de Bourgtheroulde in Rouen. During this lavish meeting near Calais, England's King Henry VIII and France's King Francis I came together to forge an alliance between their countries. Lavishly decorated tents adorned the field, symbolizing opulence and power. This momentous occasion took place over seventeen days from June 7th to June 24th. The photograph provides a glimpse into this grand ceremony, with horsemen and knights surrounding both monarchs. Dressed in regal attire, they exude authority and prestige against the backdrop of a picturesque landscape. The significance of this meeting cannot be understated; it marked an attempt to strengthen diplomatic ties between two powerful nations during the tumultuous 16th century. As we observe this image today, we are reminded of the intricate tapestry woven by history that continues to shape our world. This particular print is derived from a painting housed within Hampton Court Palace's Royal Collection. Its inclusion in A. F Pollard's book "Henry VIII" published by Goupil & Co further solidifies its importance as an enduring representation of this historic encounter between two influential kings - Henry VIII and Francis I.
