EDITORS COMMENTS
Antoine de Bourbon, King of Navarre (1511-1562), is depicted in this exquisitely hand-colored lithograph from the "Historical Costumes of France" portfolio by Paul Lacroix. The portrait, which originated from Roger de Gaignières gallery, offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the French court during the reign of King Charles IX (1550-1574). Antoine de Bourbon, a prominent figure in French history, was the eldest son of Louis III, Duke of Bourbon, and his wife, Claude de France, who was also the sister of King Charles IX. In 1555, Antoine was granted the title of King of Navarre, making him a vassal of the French crown. The lithograph captures Antoine in a formal attire, consisting of a richly embroidered doublet, a voluminous, fur-lined cloak, and a tall, elegant hat adorned with feathers. The intricate details of the king's costume are beautifully rendered, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship of the time. Antoine's expression is serious and regal, reflecting his position as a powerful monarch. The background of the portrait is adorned with ornate decorative elements, further emphasizing the grandeur and splendor of the French court. The meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant colors of the lithograph make it an invaluable historical document, offering a unique insight into the fashion and culture of the late 16th century in France. This image of Antoine de Bourbon, King of Navarre, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the French Renaissance and serves as a reminder of the complex political dynamics that shaped the European world during this period.
