EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, created by Dupre in 1851 for the Biblioteca Universal, showcases Marie de Medici (1573-1642), the Consort Queen of France and the second wife of King Henry IV of France from the House of Bourbon. Born into the influential Medici family of Florence, Italy, Marie's marriage to Henry IV marked a significant political alliance between the two European powers. Marie de Medici is depicted here in regal attire, adorned with jewels and a magnificent headdress, reflecting her status as a queen. She is seated next to her husband, King Henry IV, who is dressed in the robes of a king. The tenderness and affection between them are palpable, as they gaze into each other's eyes. Marie's role as queen consort was short-lived, as Henry IV was assassinated in 1610, leaving her a widow at the young age of 37. However, Marie's influence continued to shape French history, as she served as regent for her son, King Louis XIII, until he came of age. This engraving is a testament to the beauty, power, and significance of Marie de Medici in European history. Her story is one of love, politics, and power, and her legacy continues to be celebrated to this day. The colored print adds an extra layer of richness and depth to the image, making it a stunning addition to any collection of European history or art.
