EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Catherine De Medici, a prominent figure in European history. Born as Caterina Maria Romola De Medici in 1519, she went on to become the Queen of France and the wife of Henry II. The photo-etching beautifully captures her regal presence and elegance, derived from an original painting by Clouet. Catherine's reign was marked by political intrigue and influence over French affairs. As a member of the powerful Medici family from Italy, she brought with her a wealth of knowledge and experience that shaped her role as queen consort. Her intelligence and cunning nature made her a formidable force in court politics. Despite being married to Henry II, Catherine faced numerous challenges throughout her life. She witnessed religious conflicts between Catholics and Protestants escalate into full-blown wars during the infamous Wars of Religion era. Throughout these tumultuous times, Catherine displayed remarkable resilience as she navigated through treacherous waters to protect both herself and the interests of France. This black-and-white portrait exudes an air of authority befitting a monarch while also capturing Catherine's gracefulness. It serves as a timeless reminder of one woman's indomitable spirit amidst turbulent times in French history. Ken Welsh's expertly crafted print allows us to appreciate not only Catherine De Medici's physical beauty but also her significant contributions to shaping Europe during the Renaissance period.
