EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic engraving of Francois Ravaillac, the infamous assassin of Henri IV. Created by Christoffel van Sichem the Elder, a renowned Dutch artist from the 16th century, this portrait en pied captures Ravaillac in all his complexity and intrigue. Ravaillac's face is etched with intensity and determination, revealing the inner turmoil that led him to commit such a heinous act. The details in this engraving are strikingly vivid; every line and shadow seems to tell a story of its own. His piercing eyes seem to follow you wherever you stand, leaving an indelible impression on anyone who gazes upon it. The composition is masterfully executed, emphasizing both Ravaillac's humanity and his role as an assassin. His arm rests casually on a table beside him, perhaps hinting at the weapon he used to carry out his fateful deed - a knife that forever changed history. This piece serves as a powerful reminder of the fragility of power and how one man's actions can shape an entire nation's destiny. It invites viewers to reflect on the complexities of human nature and question what drives individuals to commit acts of violence. As we delve into this historical moment through Stefano Bianchetti's lens, we are transported back in time - witnessing firsthand the face behind one of France's most notorious crimes.
