EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in history - the grand ball held at the court of King Francois 1st of France in 1539. The illustrious gathering took place within the opulent walls of Fontainebleau Castle, and it was attended by not only the French king but also Charles V, the powerful king of Spain and emperor of the Holy Roman Empire Germanic.

The scene is filled with vibrant colors and intricate details, showcasing the lavishness and splendor of the occasion.

Amongst all this grandeur stands Charles V, exuding authority as he mingles with his fellow monarchs. This rare gathering brought together two influential rulers who shaped European history during their reigns. It serves as a testament to their political alliances and shared interests. The image also hints at moments of lightheartedness amidst royal affairs, as a buffoon entertains guests with jests and antics.
