EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to a significant moment in French history. The image portrays King Henri II of France, a prominent figure during the 16th century, being fatally wounded at a jousting event held during his daughter's wedding celebrations. Published circa 1840 as part of "Histoire De France" by Colart, this historical illustration offers us a glimpse into the lavish festivities that surrounded royal weddings. The scene depicts an intense jousting match taking place within a picturesque landscape. King Henri II can be seen on horseback, clad in regal attire, bravely participating in the tournament. However, tragedy strikes as he is struck by a fatal blow from his opponent's spear. This incident not only marks the end of Henri II's life but also serves as a reminder of the dangers associated with such medieval sporting events. Ken Welsh has masterfully captured this pivotal moment through his engraving technique, emphasizing both the grandeur and gravity of the occasion. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to an era where celebration and danger coexisted within royal courts. This print is not just an artistic representation; it serves as an educational tool for those interested in French history or medieval customs. Its horizontal format allows for easy display and its timeless appeal ensures that it will continue to captivate viewers for years to come.
