EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite oil on canvas detail, painted by Nicolas-Guy Brenet in 1789, depicts a significant moment from the Italian War of 1551-1559. The scene captures King Henry II of France (r. 1547-1559) bestowing the coveted cordon of the Order of Saint-Michel upon Marshal Gaspard de Saulx, Tavannes (1519-1592), following the triumphant Battle of Renty against Emperor Charles V on August 13, 1554. Set against a backdrop of classicism, the vertical and upright composition masterfully highlights the grandeur and power of the monarch, as he confidently presents the emblematic blue ribbon to the victorious marshal. The use of color in the artwork, particularly the rich reds and blues, adds depth and vibrancy to the daytime scene, which is bathed in the warm, natural light filtering through the window. The National Museum of Versailles, located in the Yvelines department of France, is the proud home of this breathtaking work of art. The meticulous attention to detail and the masterful brushwork of Brenet bring this historical moment to life, allowing us to witness the pomp and ceremony of the French court during the 16th century.
