EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving transports us back to the 16th century, depicting the tragic fate of King Henry II of France. The detailed print showcases the regal figure of this monarch, who met his untimely demise during a fateful tournament. The image captures the essence of royalty and power, with King Henry II mounted on his majestic horse. His presence exudes authority as he prepares for a jousting match, an activity that was popular among French nobility at the time. However, little did anyone know that this event would mark a turning point in history. Tragically, this wood engraving immortalizes not only King Henry II's royal stature but also his fatal injury sustained during the tournament. It serves as a poignant reminder of how even those in positions of great influence are vulnerable to unforeseen circumstances. The intricate details etched into the wooden canvas bring forth emotions and curiosity about this significant moment in French history. As we gaze upon this historic artwork, we can't help but reflect on both the grandeur and fragility of monarchy. Daniel Russelman's masterful craftsmanship is evident through every stroke engraved onto this piece. Through his skillful artistry, he has managed to capture an entire era within one frame – showcasing not just a king or an event but also providing us with a glimpse into centuries past when valiant knights jousted for honor and glory under the House of Valois monarchy.
