EDITORS COMMENTS
Ms Y 28: A Glimpse into the Triumphant Entry of King Henry II of France into Rouen in 1550 The captivating detail from the Ms Y 28 manuscript, titled "Relation de l'entrée de Henri II, roi de France, à Rouen, le 1er octobre 1550," or "Story of the Entry of King Henry II, King of France, into Rouen, on October 1, 1550," offers a glimpse into the grandeur and splendor of the Renaissance era. This exquisite miniature painting, published in 1551, portrays the procession of King Henry II passing before a triumphal arch representing the Golden Age. The scene is set against the backdrop of Haute-Normandie, in the city of Rouen, which is depicted in stunning detail under the soft glow of daylight. The procession, led by the king on horseback, is a spectacle of opulence, with nobles, knights, and courtiers adorned in rich robes and finery, all making their way through the city gates. The triumphal arch, an architectural marvel of the time, is adorned with intricate carvings and gold leaf, symbolizing the prosperity and wealth of the kingdom. The archway frames the king and his procession, emphasizing their importance and power. This painting is a testament to the artistic prowess of the Renaissance period, with its meticulous attention to detail and masterful use of color. The horizontal composition, with its balanced arrangement of figures and architectural elements, adds to the sense of order and harmony. The Ms Y 28 manuscript is a valuable historical and artistic treasure, providing a window into the past and offering a glimpse into the grandeur and majesty of the Renaissance court. This detail, in particular, captures the essence of the triumphant entry of King Henry II into Rouen and serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of France.
