EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite portrait depicts Henry III of France, also known as Henri de Valois, who served as King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1573 to 1574 and as King of France from 1574 until his death in 1589. The portrait, created in the second half of the 16th century, is an anonymous masterpiece found in the Collection of the Royal Castle in Warsaw. The portrait is a stunning example of Mannerist painting, characterized by its elongated figures, exaggerated gestures, and complex compositions. In this portrait, Henry III is depicted in three-quarters view, wearing the robes of a king and holding a scepter in one hand and a globe in the other. His gaze is steady and confident, reflecting his regal authority. The portrait is executed in gouache on parchment, a technique that allows for intricate detail and a velvety texture. The artist's skill is evident in the delicate rendering of Henry III's facial features, the richness of his clothing, and the subtle shading that adds depth and dimension to the image. Henry III was a complex figure, known for his intellectual pursuits and his patronage of the arts. This portrait captures the essence of his regal presence and his status as a ruler of two powerful European kingdoms. It is a testament to the artistic talent of the anonymous artist and a valuable addition to the Collection of the Royal Castle in Warsaw.
