EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of regal splendor from the pages of history. The illustration, taken from Michel Eyquem de Montaigne's renowned work, Essais, transports us to the royal court of old. In this scene, we witness a majestic king surrounded by his courtiers, each adorned in elaborate Renaissance costumes. The central figure is believed to be none other than Henri IV, the esteemed French monarch who reigned during the late 16th century. Standing beside him is his wife, Marguerite de Valois, famously known as Reine Margot. Their presence exudes power and elegance as they command attention from their loyal subjects. The courtiers are depicted bowing before their sovereigns with utmost respect and reverence. They wear intricate attire that reflects the fashion trends of the era – ruffled collars, doublets embellished with jewels, and feathered hats adorning their heads. The men proudly display swords at their sides as symbols of authority and protection. Gustave Dore's masterful engraving brings this historical tableau to life with its meticulous details and striking contrasts between light and shadow. Through this image captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to an age where royalty ruled supreme. This print serves as a timeless reminder of an era marked by grandeur and sophistication—a visual testament to the enduring allure of royal courts throughout history.
